How can we leverage the full spectrum of touch for more robust robot manipulation? 🦾Meet Sparsh-X, a backbone for multisensory touch representation across image, audio, motion, and pressure. 🧵1/6 👇
So you’ve trained your favorite diffusion/flow based policy, but it’s just not good enough 0-shot. Worry not, in our new work DSRL - we show how to *steer* pre-trained diffusion policies with off-policy RL, improving behavior efficiently enough for direct training in the real…
How should a robot perceive the world? What kind of visual representation leads to robust visuomotor policy learning for robotics? Policies trained on raw images are often fragile—easily broken by lighting, clutter, or object variations—making it challenging to deploy policies…
Some more 'cherry' picked field test adventures with Spot! :)

Constructing interactive simulated worlds has been a challenging problem, requiring considerable manual effort for asset creation and articulation, and composing assets to form full scenes. In our new work - DRAWER, we made the process of creating scenes in simulation as simple…
🧠 Your LLM should model how you think, not reduce you to preassigned traits 📢 Introducing LoRe: a low-rank reward modeling framework for personalized RLHF ❌ Demographic grouping/handcrafted traits ✅ Infers implicit preferences ✅ Few-shot adaptation 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2504.14439
Our new paper (first one of my PhD!) on cooperative AI reveals a surprising insight: Environment Diversity > Partner Diversity. Agents trained in self-play across many environments learn cooperative norms that transfer to humans on novel tasks. shorturl.at/fqsNN🧵
Awesome. Going beyond the stupid metric maps is exactly the next steps in field robotics.

Need yo robot to navigate in outdoor environments with limited-horizon knowledge? Check out our work ~Long Range Navigator (LRN) ~ extends planning horizon using an affordance representation mapping camera images to `affordable' frontiers, and optimizing for goal alignment. 🧵1/N

📢 New Paper! Tired 😴 of reasoning benchmarks full of math & code? In our work we consider the problem of reasoning for plot holes in stories -- inconsistencies in a storyline that break the internal logic or rules of a story’s world 🌎 W/ @melaniesclar, and @tsvetshop 1/n
Scaling imitation learning has been bottlenecked by the need for high-quality robot data, which are expensive to collect. But are we utilizing existing data to the fullest extent? A thread (1/11)
Model merging is a great way to combine multiple models' abilities, however, existing methods only work with models fine-tuned from the same initialization, and produce models of the same size. Our new work - PLeaS (at #CVPR2025) aims to resolve both these issues 🧵.
