i’m happy to present chessbot.
a robot that can move your chess piece from place to place.
we built this in under 24 hours at the @LeRobotHF hackathon.
here’s a quick demo!
Imitation learning has a data scarcity problem.
Introducing EgoDex from Apple, the largest and most diverse dataset of dexterous human manipulation to date — 829 hours of egocentric video + paired 3D hand poses across 194 tasks.
Now on arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2505.11709 (1/4)
Finished writing the reports for 6 #IROS2025 submissions. Thanks to the reviewers who accepted my invitations!
ICRA and IROS have relatively long review cycles and lack a rebuttal stage — a point worth considering for the robotics community @ieeeras
In my past research experience, finding or developing an appropriate simulation environment, dataset, and benchmark has always been a challenge. Missing features, limited support, or unexpected bugs often occupied my days and nights. Moreover, current simulation platforms are…
Can we build a generalist robotic policy that doesn’t just memorize training data and regurgitate it during test time, but instead remembers past actions as memory and conditions its decisions on them?🤖💡
Introducing SAM2Act—a multi-view robotic transformer-based policy that…
Honk if you ❤️ American drones!
The Skydio Dock for X10 Roadshow is bringing autonomous Drone as First Responder capabilities to public safety agencies nationwide. After debuting at #AxonWeek25 in PHX, we’re eastbound to ATL. 🇺🇸
📍 Where should we go next?
Happy to share our new work on Navigation World Models! 🔥🔥
Navigation is a fundamental skill of agents with visual-motor capabilities. We train a single World Model across multiple environments and diverse agent data.
w/ @GaoyueZhou, Danny Tran, @trevordarrell and @ylecun.
Thanks Steven Palma! We will update the README to highlight the 3 versions of LeKiwi:
- cables only (no battery)
- remote control with RaspberryPi (inference done on laptop)
- on-board compute with Jetson Nano

I sent a message to my PhD students and postdocs at @Princeton a couple of weeks ago regarding freezes/cuts to federal research funding (this was before the freeze on federal funding to Princeton). I am sharing it here in case others find it helpful in having similar…
@realKrisCruz Pollen is out of control in Dallas! Just came back from a week there and was pretty miserable the whole time. Try the Pataday eye drops and some zyzal if you haven’t yet. Nazacort spray helps too.
Today's pollen count is 14,801. This shatters the previous record of 9,369 set in 2012.
I hope you're feeling okay. Showers and storms Sunday - Monday will bring some relief.
