           During my time as director, we designed and moved in to our new, gorgeous space in Anna Hiss Gym, hired more than 10 new world-class tenure track faculty, launched a new minor and honors program, and began many new exciting projects. The future is bright for Texas Robotics!

             Huge thanks to Prof. Peter Stone (@PeterStone_TX) for his fantastic talk last week for our Agentic AI Frontier Seminar! His presentation was a deep dive into one of the most critical challenges in robotics: how we make learning from human feedback both efficient and reliable.

             If you're at CoRL and are interested in RL learning on real robots, I highly recommend Jiaheng's talk. It's a very nice result! A simulator is used to generate an abstract action space, but then all the experiential learning is done in the real world. 
           Looking forward to presenting SLAC at #CoRL2025, and as an oral spotlight at the humanoid dexterous manipulation workshop! Our code is now available at  https://t.co/JTBYAYBXgU.  In addition, I will help present SPARTA (led by Priyanka) on object state manipulation, and RoboSSM
