โHow can humanoids learn to squat and open a drawer? Reward-tuning for every such whole-body task is infeasible. ๐Meet DreamControl: robots "dream" how people move and manipulate objects in varied scenarios, practice using them in simulation, and then act naturally in the

Published my personal notes from interview prep at top AI labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, WorldLabs, etc, revisiting core concepts in large-scale ML design and optimization for efficient model training and inference. Hope itโs useful to others exploring and deep-diving into ML/LLMs

โYou canโt make progress until you are able to measure it. Robotics still doesnโt have such a rallying call. No one agrees on anything.โ I ๐ฏ agree with the recent post from @DrJimFan. To break this impasse, we are excited to announce ManipulationNet ( https://t.co/DvoN2nvURq), a

Implementing motion imitation methods involves lots of nuisances. Not many codebases get all the details right. So, we're excited to release MimicKit! https://t.co/7enUVUkc3h A framework with high quality implementations of our methods: DeepMimic, AMP, ASE, ADD, and more to come!

ResMimic: a two-stage residual framework that unleashes the power of pre-trained general motion tracking policy. Enable expressive whole-body loco-manipulation with payloads up to 5.5kg without task-specific design, generalize across poses, and exhibit reactive behavior.

Last year, I came across the idea of constrained decoding (I know, late to the party) and was fascinated. The ability to enforce constraints for LLMs at inference time without fine tuning is a powerful idea. It got me thinking, can we do this for robot foundation models? 1/n๐งต

CoRL 2026 is cutting review cycles to <3 months to keep pace with the rapid progress in robotics. @ieee_ras_icra @IROS2025 โ maybe itโs time to rethink too. It makes little sense to discuss papers at conferences a year after submission, when theyโre already outdated.
The IEEE ICRA 2026 will take place in Vienna, Austria, from June 1โ5, 2026. Stay tuned for upcoming calls for competitions, workshops, and program announcements! #ICRA #ICRA2026 #Vienna #Robotics #IEEE #RAS
