Welcome to EmPRISE Lab Tom Silver. Looking forward to working with you on exciting problems :-)

Kudos to the APDI student group ( thebigredapdi.com/home ) for doing such an amazing job by adapting toys and other devices and making play accessible to many children with disabilities in the local Ithaca region!

🤖🌏 Join us at #HRI2025 in Melbourne, Mar 3-6! 🐨🦘 Explore "Robots for a Sustainable World." 🚨Full paper abstracts due Sep 24.🚨Full papers due Oct 1. More info on deadlines & other submissions 👉 humanrobotinteraction.org/2025/submissio…

Excited to share this new #podcast episode with Dr. Katherine Dimitropoulou & Tapomayukh "Tapo" Bhattacharjee on their innovative research working with people with disabilities & other stakeholders to develop #robots that can assist with activities of daily living like feeding & dressing. open.spotify.com/episode/0a0vdM…

Excited to be on the panel! Thank you for the invitation RSS Pioneers

I'll be at #RSS2024 next week to present our "planning to learn" work (ees.csail.mit.edu). Prospective PhD students: feel free to email me if you want to chat about robotics at Princeton.

Introducing FLAIR: Feeding via Long-horizon AcquIsition of Realistic dishes! Our system merges a library of skills with foundation models for efficient robotic feeding, tailored to user preferences. 🔗emprise.cs.cornell.edu/flair 📃arxiv.org/abs/2407.07561 To Appear at RSS ’24 1/N

FLAIR is our most recent work on robot-assisted feeding where we are able to acquire in-the-wild real meals (DoorDash orders, homemade meals, prepared grocery store meals) while catering to a wide variety of user preferences. We have tested FLAIR across 2 different institutions
