Is Data All You Need?: Large Robot Action Models and Good Old Fashioned Engineering
Abstract: Enthusiasm has been skyrocketing for humanoids based on recent advances in "end-to-end" large robot action models. Initial results are promising, and several collaborative efforts are underway to collect the needed demonstration data. But is data really all you need? Although end-to-end Large Vision, Language, Action (VLA) Models have potential to generalize and reliably solve […]

Sensing the Unseen: Dexterous Tool Manipulation Through Touch and Vision
Abstract: Dexterous tool manipulation is a dance between tool motion, deformation, and force transmission choreographed by the robot's end-effector. Take for example the use of a spatula. How should the robot reason jointly over the tool’s geometry and forces imparted to the environment through vision and touch? In this talk, I will present our recent […]

Learning Environment Models for Mobile Robot Autonomy
Abstract: Robots are expected to execute increasingly complex tasks in increasingly complex and a priori unknown environments. A key prerequisite is the ability to understand the geometry and semantics of the environment in real time from sensor observations. This talk will present techniques for learning metric-semantic environment models from RGB and depth observations. Specific examples include [...]
