Thank you so much for hosting me! It was great to be back in Philly and UPenn, and have the opportunity to catch up with friends and meet some cool people!

A recording of this talk is now available here: youtu.be/kEB4Kh95jGg?si…

Oh god! This is basically a trailer for a Black Mirror episode: youtu.be/XQ7tCi3j2IE?si…

A good day for Georgia Tech School of Interactive Computing Robotics@GT | On Vacation. Congratulations Sehoon Ha Naoki Yokoyama Dhruv Shah and Shuo Cheng !

New motivation slide for robotics just dropped!

This is called relief inversion. The two pictures are exactly the same, just rotated upside down. Most people have a subconscious interpretation of images based on the assumption that objects are illuminated from above. We expect the light source to come from the upper left

🎉This work is now accepted for publication in IEEE RA-L, and Yunhai Han will present it at #ICRA2025 Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2404.05582

I feel very seen!

Congrats Harish Ravichandar, the third faculty member from IC to win the U.S. National Science Foundation CAREER Award this year! He proposes the development of dexterous robotic manipulation algorithms that use limited resources without sacrificing performance.

What a fun example of (failed) out-of-distribution generalization!

📢In a new #CoRL2024 paper, we fix a key limitation of our prior work on Koopman-based dexterous manipulation(proceedings.mlr.press/v229/han23a.ht…). Hongyi figured out how to learn flexible visual features for koopman dynamics➡️No need to manually define or have access to ground-truth states!
