Robots. Learning. Moving.

The swaying of a branch in the wind, a rotary gallop of a cheetah, sinusoidal commutation of a brushless motor, or that time I fell down the stairs; motion in all its forms fascinates me.
The massive influx of data science into robotics is delightful and harrowing.

Lots of fun stuff shown today with the GDMR blog post, but one of my favorites is this NIST board. And Todor's dashing sweater, of course. youtu.be/2AAFiuEP7iE?...

I am teaching a class on #FoundationalModels for #robotics and Scaling #DeepRL algorithms. This class expands on last year's class and my generalist robotics policies tutorial and code. I plan to share the lectures and code assignments. Starting with the first lectures below.

Use the force! Interesting use of kinesthetic teaching with diffusion policy. Hoping there will be more details on the exact action space and training.

Dreaming in sim and playing in reality. Pretty slick process with the new JAX enabled tooling in MuJoCo.

I'd like to introduce what I've been working at @hellorobot.bsky.social: Stretch AI, a set of open-source tools for language-guided autonomy, exploration, navigation, and learning from demonstration.

From Matt Mason: "Anthropophilia versus technophilia. How can we judge this debate fairly? Since all humans have an anthropocentric bias, we need judges from some other species! And that is the silly idea that led to this parable."

How do we assess ideas about humanoids, without our anthropocentric bias? Maybe if the ideas were being pushed by another species. Beetles?

Let me also put the link to the wide baseline stereo blog.
It started as PhD thesis in a blog format, then expanded around Image Matching Challenge. I should write there more though

Here is a simulation to watch of a passive walker evolving as you ponder if an embodiment is important for artificial general intelligence: bingjeff.github.io/walkman/
