every time I stay in the office at night I’m simultaneously pleased and terrified by the robots constantly strolling right behind me

Atlas is autonomously moving engine covers between supplier containers and a mobile sequencing dolly, using ML to detect and localize the environment fixtures and individual bin. There are no prescribed or teleoperated movements. youtu.be/F_7IPm7f1vI

The fact that context was added to this video is interesting. in the limit, it should make no difference to a user whether a robot is being teleoperated or moving autonomously if it gets its job done. that *should* only matter to the seller

it’s so nice to have friends who will do what they can to push you out of your local minima even when they’re far too busy to. I wanna pay all those acts forward tenfold

Can't trip Atlas up! Our humanoid robot gets ready for real work combining strength, perception, and mobility.

demand for this is probably low but it would be nice if there were publicly available robots that could be “rented” by hobbyists/independent researchers/engineers/robotics software orgs when they aren’t being used (And if there are, lmk where)

I have more friends than usual attending neurips this year. I’ve never really cared about neurips much before, and I’m generally not a huge fan of academic confs anymore, but I do feel a teeny bit of fomo rn…

what’s the closest thing we have to a “universal physics simulator”? that is, one that models as many complex processes as possible (eg liquids, cloth, meat, cracking)?
