Proud dad moment! 🥹.Ethan, my high school son & RoMeLa intern, asked a great question at RoboCup 2022: Does data collection method affect vision performance? That led to a full study — and a paper we just presented at UR2025! 🤖📄 #robotics #AI #RoboCup #UR2025 @GeffenAcademy

Found my old graduation photos. It reminded me of the man who inspired it all—my father. He was a brilliant engineer, a kind soul, and the reason I ever dreamed beyond the ordinary. He’s no longer with us, but everything I build carries his legacy. Happy Father’s Day, Dad.

Our robot's walk isn't weird—it's just exploring an under-sampled region of latent space. 😆🤣🤪.@RoMeLaUCLA
