I use Scholar Inbox to get really targeted paper recommendations -- I definitely recommend trying it out if you haven't yet!

Computer Vision: Fact & Fiction is now available on YouTube 🙌🏼 I made a playlist for it with the seven chapters. Enjoy this time capsule from two decades ago!

The debaters (Harold Soh, Jeannette Bogh, Nadia Figueroa, Chad Jenkins) did a great job talking strong stances. Watch until the end to hear what they actually personally think. And unsurprisingly, @ken-goldberg.bsky.social was a wonderful moderator!

Just discovered the recordings of the debates this year at ICRA. As usual, it was a very popular event. It's easily often the highlight of the conference for me, very cool that they're uploaded! I wish an event of this type was held at every conference.

This podcast, about letting a chatbot + voice clone armed with information about you loose in your personal life, was an uncomfortable listen. radiolab.org/podcast/shel...

Let's make AI more inclusive. At @huggingface.bsky.social we'll launch a huge community sprint soon to build high-quality training datasets for many languages. We're looking for Language Leads to help with outreach. Find your language and nominate yourself: forms.gle/iAJVauUQ3FN8...

Just a heads up to everyone: @deep-mind.bsky.social is unfortunately a fake account and has been reported. Please do not follow it nor repost anything from it.

Wonderful blog post by Matt Mason: mtmason.com/the-beetle-r... Quote from it: “... When humans have to handle things not designed for their hands, it’s all tools! Look at their dentists and surgeons. Look at their watchmakers. ...”

We are in the process of editing a SLAM handbook, to be published by Cambridge University Press, with many *stellar* contributors. Part 1 is available as an online draft for public comments. Help us find bugs/problems! Link to release repo is here: lnkd.in/gZhTkaxb

What cool applications of diffusion have folks seen outside of the popular ones like text-to-image, image-to-3D, Diffusion Policy, etc?

MIT announced that it would eliminate tuition costs next fall for all undergraduate students whose families earn less than $200,000 per year — following a national movement to try to make higher education more accessible.

I created a List to keep track of conferences in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Robotics:

NeurIPS Conference is now Live on Bluesky! -NeurIPS2024 Communication Chairs

Full CoRL conference recording: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0joZ... Someone remind me to watch this later

Future Bsky homes for our #computervision conferences! @cvprconference.bsky.social @iccv.bsky.social @eccv.bsky.social @wacvconference.bsky.social Stay tuned!

By way of introduction, I thought I’d take a moment to share and rate some of the robots I’ve worked on/with. 🧵
