If you are going to #ICRA2025 and are interested in automatic robotic generation + EC + intrinsic motivations please have a look at our paper "Efficient and Diverse Generative Robot Designs using Evolution and Intrinsic Motivation". Léni Le Goff will be there presenting our work

I never thought a computer scientist could win the Nobel Prize. Our cap is not the Turing Award then. Amazing! This opens so many options. well. Anyways, congrats to Hinton and Hopfield #NobelPrize.

A real pleasure to meet Marc Raibert from @BostonDynamics at #ICRA2023, now I know he's a fellow rock guitarist that builds tube amps at home, how cool! Here with part of the amazing AIRLab grpup @CULLYAntoine @ieee_ras_icra

Jasia Reichardt at #ICRA2023 "we want to improve our robots, but we don't want them to realise they don't need us" @JasiaReichardt wonderful.

So today my question was answered, after less than 3 month, Prof Berk Canberk used ChatGPT as a verb :) I have chatgpted (!) it. Thanks Berk for the great talk on digital twins!
how long until we make a verb out of using chatGTP? can you chatGPT it? To summarise, expand, ELI5. in Spanish it will be "chatgipitéalo".

Did you know that you can use evolution on a robot without simulation? if you are clever about it. New paper and video (bonus: you can see me cosplaying Cow and Chicken parents) @CULLYAntoine @bryanlimwt @hannah_janmo @GeccoConf.

This is one of the overlooked cases for explainability AI (XAI): explain what the deep network is doing so humans can learn from it and exploit it.
Since 1969 Strassen’s algorithm has famously stood as the fastest way to multiply 2 matrices - but with #AlphaTensor we’ve found a new algorithm that’s faster, with potential to improve efficiency by 10-20% across trillions of calculations per day!
