Let there be cute robots! The sillier path for the creation of data flywheels in robotics
Published:
What if instead of billion-dollar autonomous driving approaches, we could kickstart robotics data collection with cheap, cute collectible robots that consumers actually want to interact with?
Should Robots Be Able to Synthesize Aids on the Fly? Tool Synthesis as a Regularizer
Published:
Exploring how on-demand tool fabrication can regularize robot learning by transforming rare, difficult tasks into familiar interactions—reducing the combinatorial complexity of open-world robotics.
Learning to Detect by Learning to Predict
Published:
The ability to identify and localize objects in an environment by humans and other animals is powered by the agent’s ability to predict where an object is likely to be in the environment. We explore the use of this idea as a prior to improve detection of objects in the scene, which can be seen as the conditional posterior.
