Super excited to introduce 🐹 HAMSTER—our VLA model accepted to #ICLR2025! šŸš€. We train a VLM to predict high-level trajectories, executed by a 3D policy like RVT-2. This decomposition enables better generalization and efficient use of off-domain cheap data. Check out.

4. Flowing from Words to Pixels. An insight that seems so simple in hindsight. For conditional generation, instead of starting from noise, why not flow directly from source to the target distri.? I'll be watching closely if this becomes the norm. Great Work by @Qihao Liu et al.

3. Prompting Depth Anything for 4K Metric Depth . It’s a very practical way to get dense and accurate metric depth. It upgrades a monocular depth models for metric accuracy by using data from metric sensors, getting the best of both worlds. Great work by Haotong Lin et al.

2. Reconstructing Animals and the Wild. This work generates complete scenes from natural images, trained with just synthetic Infinigen data. While working on Infinigen, I never thought it could be used so creatively. Fantastic work by Peter @Michael_J_Black @silvia_zuffi

That’s a wrap for #CVPR2025! Here's a 🧵 of some really cool works šŸ‘‡. 1. Let Humanoids Hike!. Great work @ky_lin0305 and Stella Xu. They drove home the point that we can't treat locomotion and navigation as separate. The ultimate test: Can your robot complete a hike on its own?

Headed to Nashville for #CVPR2025! . Excited to present our robot learning work, "3D-MVP," and connect with fellow researchers. I'll be sharing my thoughts on the most exciting papers. Should be a fun week of learning and meeting friends, old and new! #Computervision #robotics

3D-MVP has been accepted to #CVPR2025! . Our research demonstrates that 3D pretraining significantly outperforms other pretraining approaches in robotics. By integrating this pretraining into the Robotic View Transformer (RVT), we enhance downstream policy performance.

Exciting News! Our new paper "3D-MVP" is out! We propose a novel approach for 3D multi-view pretraining using masked autoencoders, leveraging Robotic View Transformer (RVT) to improve generalization for downstream robotics tasks.

A few weeks have passed since DeepSeek became an overnight sensation, and I’ve had time to reflect on its impact. DeepSeek has undeniably opened up new possibilities for LLM research—both for researchers and smaller companies. — It’s not easy, but it demonstrates that a small,.
