Context is key. The built-in dictation tool in macOS keeps insisting I want "kale divergence" 🥬. Nothing wrong with kale, just hard to use it as the loss function for a network 😂.

Just show me what you want, and I'll figure out how to do it...quickly! PhD candidate Trevor Ablett will present Efficient Imitation without Demonstrations via Value-Penalized Auxiliary Control from Examples (VPACE) at #ICRA25 tomorrow!

Push it to the (demonstrated) limit! To complete difficult tasks with complex contact, our latest work combines a tactile force matching algorithm with imitation learning (IL). PhD candidate Trevor Ablett will present this T-RO work at #ICRA25 tomorrow!

In a recent T-RO paper, researchers show how complex manipulation tasks that require both precise reaching and controlled slipping or sliding can benefit from see-through visuotactile sensing.
