🤖💤 We're here to post about robotics research and the soothing strobes of sleeping... What kind of robot starts with an "S"? Snake robots??? That's not at all right.... 🐍😬

📸🚁🐜 We work with drones, teams (not quite swarms?), and cameras!

🤖 I would like permission to geek out for a moment about a new paper on visual inertial navigation and applied submodular maximization 🙃

Non-submodular Visual Attention for Robot Navigation by Vafaee et al.
arxiv.org/abs/2510.00942
Non-submodular Visual Attention for Robot Navigation
This paper presents a task-oriented computational framework to enhance Visual-Inertial Navigation (VIN) in robots, addressing challenges such as limited time and energy resources. The framework strate...

This call on AI and Humanities is exciting!💃

🎥🤖 I have a line of work involving autonomous/robot cinematography, and a dream of mine as new faculty is to develop collaboration in the humanities or HRI/HCI!

I am looking for collaborators! If this interests you, please reach out 😃
It's been delayed a little, but here — at last — is the CFP for Schmidt Sciences' Humanities and AI Virtual Institute, to support research "at the intersection of AI and the humanities." Expressions of interest are due April 4th. Pls RT! www.schmidtsciences.org/humanities-a...
