Check out Leslie Kaelbling's #RLC2025 Keynote where she talks about some new pespectives and a number of new works from the group: youtube.com/watch?v=10OjAI…
This is my new favorite robot demo video - very impressive! Expert level table tennis seems more within reach than I would have thought!

We're excited for #RLC2025! If you're at the conference, be sure to catch our PI Leslie Kaelbling's keynote on "RL: Rational Learning" from 9-10 in CCIS 1-430. Leslie will talk about some new perspectives + exciting new results from the group: you won't want to miss it! 🤖
I competed on robotics teams (FIRST, WRO) throughout middle and high school and loved it. When I got to college, I asked @StefanieTellex about forming an undergrad robotics competition club. She suggested I try research first. “Research is cooler”, she said. She was right!

📢 Excited to announce the 1st workshop on Making Sense of Data in Robotics @corl_conf! #CORL2025 What makes robot learning data “good”? We focus on: 🧩 Data Composition 🧹 Data Curation 💡 Data Interpretability 📅 Papers due: 08/22/2025 🌐 tinyurl.com/corldata25 🧵(1/3)
Hello world! This is @nishanthkumar23 and I'll be taking over @MIT_CSAIL 's X/Twitter & Instagram for 24 hours! I'm a 4th year PhD @MITEECS working on AI/ML for Robotics and Computer Agents. Drop any and all questions about research, AI, MIT, or dogs (esp. robot dogs!) below 👇
Thrilled to share that I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech (@ICatGT / @GTrobotics / @mlatgt) in Fall 2026. My lab will tackle problems in robot learning, multimodal ML, and interaction. I'm recruiting PhD students this next cycle – please apply/reach out!
It was a ton of fun to help @WillShenSaysHi and @CaelanGarrett on new work that does GPU-accelerated TAMP! Exciting progress towards efficient test time scaling for robots 🤖

Very interesting new work (that builds on our work on planning to practice!) on open ended learning and exploration for LLM agents! In general I’m quite excited for ideas from planning, RL, and Robotics to help make LLM agents even more autonomous and capable! 🤖

I’m at #AAAI2025 for the next two days! Come say hi in today’s “Planning in the era of LLMs” or the “GenPlan” workshops. Also keen to chat about any and all things related to test time scaling via search, robotics, agents, or food in Philly!

It seems that I am giving the commencement address at MIT in May 😳 news.mit.edu/2024/hank-gree…
I’m quite biased, but I think this is some cool and interesting work on using LLMs for robotics :)

Curious to hear about creating generalist robots from leaders in the field? Don’t miss our panel “Representations for Generalist Robots” (4-5pm) @corl_conf LEAP workshop! Feat. @chelseabfinn @animesh_garg Vincent Vanhoucke @Marc__Toussaint @sidsrivast and Leslie Kaelbling!
Incredible insights from Prof. Tomás Lozano-Pérez of MIT during his keynote on the evolution of robotics! He took us on a journey through the shifting landscape of robotics over the years, discussing “inverted pendulum” theory of Robotics. #CoRL2024 #RobotLearning #AI #Robotics
