California building 5 feet of high speed rail
There’s a lot of cool stuff going on in robotics research these days. Here’s some cool stuff -- focusing on research papers -- that you might have missed, including work from Meta, TRI, and academia, a thread:
First Florida beats CA to high speed rail and now this 🤦♂️

Really impressive. Behavior cloning continues to produce the most compelling results in this area

Will foundation models & LLMs produce a major breakthrough in grasping/manipulation robot capabilities? My latest post (the first update on my site in almost 8 years 😬) explores the latest research. lukasholoubek.com/foundation-mod…
In defense our govt in CA, they’ve been awfully busy building high speed rail and lots of new housing

Truly inspiring triumph of technology and ingenuity. Congrats to @JanPaul123 and the rest of the Vesuvius Challenge team and participants.

Sitting on a 737-Max and considering recent events on these aircraft I’m naturally thinking of how ridiculously safe air travel is compared to cars
Lidar may be a fool’s errand (jury still out), but the tsunami of cheap options will make it ubiquitous anyway. Probably ~15 companies at CES with options of varying range and resolution, some available in today in small quantities on Amazon.
.@GaryMarcus We know copyrighted and trademarked material is in the model. If copying for training isn’t fair use, many argue that’s an issue. But what’s the analogy here? Does Crayola infringe when kids draw C-3PO at home? What about Google if I search for “golden droid” online?
The problem for those of us who spend years watching livestreams of SpaceX filling big steel tanks with liquid nitrogen in a field in Texas like other people watch a football match, is that we might perhaps not have our finger on the pulse of mainstream opinion. Its quite tricky…

Zuckerberg is way richer than me, but I'm pretty sure that if I blew out my knee, I would have the same surgery as him. This simple truth, about how technological advances diffuse through a population, escapes critics of techno-capitalism.
This is by far my favorite post on the AI executive order. Andrew says it best: The right place to regulate AI is at the APPLICATION layer. Requiring AI apps like healthcare, self-driving, etc. to meet stringent requirements, even pass audits, can ensure safety. But adding…

The Palestine protests are explicitly pro-war protests. Whether or not you agree with them, we should all acknowledge that they are pro-war protests.
They’re proud to shout for Intifada, but have no idea what it is. The first and second intifada’s in the late 80’s-early 90’s and then again in the early 2000’s were responsible for killing thousands of Jewish civilians via suicide bombing at night clubs, shopping malls, markets,…
Hey look another incredibly capable robot without humanoid hands The problem is AI doesn't generalize well enough yet -- want to see this kind of video in different kitchens, with distractors and different objects. I think we will get there, soon!
Did anyone notice this? This is amazing! I think single-task robot manipulation is already completely solved through imitation learning. bilibili.com/video/BV1yJ4m1…
Quick summary here: San Francisco parking control officers are picketing over a new proposal to begin enforcing parking laws, because drivers keep assaulting them for issuing tickets. I don’t even have a take. This is just wild circus shit lol.

Look like it's not that hard, right? @BostonDynamics @elonmusk
A simple form factor like this has an order of magnitude better probability of commercial viability than a humanoid. To be commercially viable for consumers the product should solve one or two main chores very well at <$5k with no maintenance.

The driver who struck and killed a 4-year-old girl in a S.F. intersection will avoid jail time, the DA’s Office announced. Karen Cartagena, 71, will serve two years of probation, complete 400 hours of community service and enroll in a driver safety class. trib.al/V2Ga54v
@ryankhoj @BrookeJenkinsSF This case was already presented to the DA’s office, so ambulance chasing, which concerns “securing business” doesn’t apply here. Are you knowingly spreading misinformation, or just wrong? @CommunityNotes
Crazy to ponder what's enabled if you could store things in space, and then deliver those things anywhere on Earth in <1 hour. Think cargo, medical/disaster supplies, drones, sensors, etc. @InversionSpace is building exactly this, with amazing progress.
If you were trapped on the Golden Gate Bridge on 4/15/24, please contact @CHPMarin w/ a statement detailing what happened to you + contact info so you can be alleged as a victim. You may be entitled to restitution + have other victim rights guaranteed under Marsy’s law.
This is an active & open investigation. Anyone who was detained against their will (falsely imprisoned) on the Golden Gate Bridge on 4/15/24 is urged to contact the CHP at 415.924.1105 or via email at [email protected].
One awesome thing about ML culture is it's so accessible. Blog posts, faculty hosting internet office hours, tutorials, tons of online reading groups, forums, papers written in accessible styles, etc. It should be a real point of pride
