One model that outputs code supervises another model that outputs motor control. A powerful paradigm to rethink the robot learning & embodied agent stack. That’s the main takeaway from our Eureka series, led by @JasonMa2020 and @willjhliang, co-advised with @yukez @obastani…

Ravens are such smart bird!! It looked like he smiled and celebrated after winning the game..
In the weightlessness on @Space_Station I placed a sphere of water with an air bubble on a speaker cone, then drove it with acoustical waves from the speaker. This created a series of standing nodes and anti-nodes that responded to the frequency and amplitude. A zero gravity…
My mind is blown. @GroqInc is serving LLaMA 3 at over 800 tokens per second! 800. Tokens. Per. Second. This unlocks so many incredible use-cases. It's one thing to see my demo — it's another thing entirely to experience it for yourself. Do yourself a favor and try it asap.
Reviewing the "ATLAS Deep Learning on FPGA" report and just learned that the LHC's ATLAS stands for "A Toroidal LHC Apparatus". Guess physicists really wanted to use ATLAS for this device but didn't have a good acronym for it.
We can neither confirm nor deny we will have a capstone project working on neuromorphic computing next term.

Introducing 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐇𝐀 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 🌋 - Pushing the boundaries of dexterity with low-cost robots and AI. @GoogleDeepMind Finally got to share some videos after a few months. Robots are fully autonomous filmed in one continuous shot. Enjoy!
At last week's Engineering Physics Project Fair and Alumni Night we achieved the first ever (as far as we know) coaxial ducted drone beer delivery.
Yesterday was competition day for for ENPH 353. The winning run was brought to you by team noot noot wielding a Soft Actor Critic RL model. They are holding the competition record with a 33 second run. Those look like F1 racing lines. Let's see what we can do for next year.
Our levitation devices at our project fair yesterday The big one started working way better than it ever has, after weeks of integration hell, felt like divine intervention fr @0xnullcline @james_seto1
This project features a 10 layer pcb, Rust microservices, system verilog FPGA logic, and a real-time phase solver for the ultrasound emitters. It all came together in the end and we even won an award for it 😁
