Thanks to everyone who very kindly hosted me. Highlights included Jasia Reichardt's keynote 'In Praise of Strangeness': https://www.icra2023.org/plenary-keynote-sessions

And the performance by the legend that is Stelarc: https://www.icra2023.org/art-robotics-stelarc

I'm hosting sessions at ICRA 2023 today (the International Conference on Robotics and Automation, a huge global robotics conference), and this morning I sat on stage next to Hiroshi Ishiguru as his “copy of himself” - the robot Geminoid (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=AwMfNq1x_kQ 1:30min in) GAVE A TALK, with incredibly realistic facial expressions and hand gestures. My mind is still reeling. Not sure what we’d do with such things, but it’s incredibly impressive. #ICRA2023

Check it out! @Ken_Goldberg at #ICRA2023 - and a finalist for the Outstanding Automation Paper award!

I will be in London next week for #ICRA2023. Shoot me a DM if you'd like to meet up 😀

Want to visit us during #ICRA2023 and learn more about what we do @Google @DeepMind in #Robotics?
Want to learn more about #MuJoCo?

Now is your chance https://rsvp.withgoogle.com/events/mujoco-icra-2023

RT @AirLabCMU
How can robots navigate complex, unstructured off-road terrains without expensive, hand-engineered semantic labels?

Our accepted #ICRA2023 paper investigates how to learn continuous, fine-grained traversability costmaps using self-supervision! https://mateoguaman.github.io/hdif

We have put a preprint online now:

Nearly 60 workshops and tutorials to choose from at #ICRA2023! Many have their own calls for contributions - don't miss the deadlines! https://www.icra2023.org/programme/workshops-tutorials

I actually meant #ICRA2023 :p

AdaSfM: From Coarse Global to Fine Incremental Adaptive Structure from Motion

Yu Chen, Zihao Yu, Shu Song, Tianning Yu, Jianming Li, Gim Hee Lee

tl;dr: split view-graph into smaller with IMU sensors,use incremental SfM locally, global globally

Our paper got accepted at #ICRA2023 🥳

Together with @ilgha3, @dgarzonramos and @mbirattari, we designed a #robot #swarm only from demonstrations of the collective behavior.
