If you're training models with more than one loss term, I can again strongly recommend our ConFIG optimizer: tum-pbs.github.io/ConFIG/ , simply swap out Adam&Co. for ConFIG, and you can potentially see substantial reductions in your training loss 😁 We'd also be curious to hear how it works for you

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)

Point cloud segmentation is a crucial challenge in robotics, which this paper tackles without deep learning but by introducing a new member to the ever-growing families of positional embeddings.

I'm excited about scaling up robot learning! We’ve been scaling up data gen with RL in realistic sims generated from crowdsourced videos. Enables data collection far more cheaply than real world teleop. Importantly, data becomes *cheaper* with more environments and transfers to real robots! 🧵 (1/N)
