Congrats on the release, demos look cool and it's open source 👏
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.

For my first post on Bluesky, this recent talk I did at the recent BMVA one day meeting on World Models is a good summary of my work on Computer Vision, Robotics and SLAM, and my thoughts on a bigger picture of #SpatialAI.

It's a great tool created by Andreas Geiger and co. (not here yet). Among many other things, I really like the daily digest email it sents out every evening, also you could upvote certain papers to tune the algorithm to your preference better.

Here is a list of ML OSS & Open Source / Science enthusiasts I found on Bluesky 🦋

Let me know if you find such people here!

I'm still new here and probably the list misses many must-add people, so let's built it together💪

Lots of advancements in using implicit representations for robotics! Check out this survey.

One day we will hopefully have a unified 3D representations as opposed to mixed ones depending on domain 🤞
