Honored to give an Early Career Invited Talk at #IJCAI today. See you at 11:30am in room 520C!
I’ll be at #ICML2025 presenting our paper, “Proto Successor Measure: Representing the Behavior Space of an RL Agent”. Excited to connect with others working on unsupervised RL and RL more broadly. Also am on the lookout for research collaborations and opportunities in industries.
Digital twins for personalized healthcare and sports. Excited to see future updates from @MyolabAI — congrats @Vikashplus and team!

Real-world RL, where robots learn directly from physical interactions, is extremely challenging — especially for high-DoF systems like mobile manipulators. 1⃣ Long-horizon tasks and large action spaces lead to difficult policy optimization. 2⃣ Real-world exploration with…

How to use simulation data for real-world robot manipulation? We present sim-and-real co-training, a simple recipe for manipulation. We demonstrate that sim data can significantly enhance real-world performance, even with notable differences between the sim and the real. (1/n)
Sim-and-real co-training is the key technique behind GR00T's ability to learn across the data pyramid. Our latest study shows how synthetic and real-world data can be jointly leveraged to train robust, generalizable vision-based manipulation policies. 📚 co-training.github.io
1/N Most Vision-Language-Action models need tons of data for finetuning, and still fail for new objects and instructions. Introducing OTTER, a lightweight, easy-to-train model that uses text-aware visual features to nail unseen tasks out of the box! Here's how it works 👇

Exciting news! 🎉 Texas Robotics faculty members @FAlambeigi and @yukez have been awarded tenure! Their groundbreaking research and dedication to teaching continue to shape the future of robotics. 👏🤖 #Robotics #AI
Calling exceptional graduate students in the US working on hard problems in AI - Join us as a Research Interns to build the Next-Generation AI Models for India and the World! India has fallen behind in the race to develop its own cutting-edge LLMs—but we are changing that.
🤔What tasks do we want robots to handle? Are these preferences based on saved time or feelings we associate with the tasks? Introducing Why Automate This?—a study exploring automation preferences across social groups, using feelings & time-spent as key factors. 👇 (1/5)
