🚀Excited to introduce our latest work- SAT: Spatial Aptitude Training, a groundbreaking approach to enhance spatial reasoning in Multimodal Language Models (MLMs). SAT isn't just about understanding static object positions but dives deep into dynamic spatial reasoning. 🧵👇

I am impressed by Sora, and seeing potential for using it in robotics.

We’ve been investigating how sim, while wrong, can be useful for real-world robotic RL! In our #NeurIPS2024 work, we theoretically showed how naive sim2real transfer can be inefficient, but if you *learn to explore* in sim, this transfers to the real world! We show this works on real robots! 🧵(1/6)
