Temporal and spatial alignment between glove and camera data. It is not an easy task, but it’s coming together. Human data for robots. #Robotics

If you are interested in ego-centric data capture, no need to get a headset or smart glasses. Get a $10 head strap mount and put one of these cameras on it. You get RGB, stereo, depth, 3D point clouds, and camera trajectory. Visualization powered by Rerun. Pretty cool!

Occlusion is still a challenge for SAM2. Video object segmentation is not solved yet

🤖Why is robot manipulation still an open challenge? This video shows a kitting task -- packing multiple items into a single product. No robot today can do this autonomously. Big challenges = big opportunities for research and industry. #robotics #manipulation #automation

Our students are presenting their robotics projects this week! I’ll be sharing some of the coolest ones over the next few days. The first one is a dancing SO-101😄Turn on your volume, there’s music! #Robotics

If you’re considering a stereo camera for Jetson, I tested a ZED Mini Stereo camera. It’s about $400 (vs. $250 for Jetson Orin Nano), and Stereolabs says current lead time is 6 weeks. I ended up ordering from a third-party seller.

I am really impressed by how easy Spectacular AI makes visual-inertial odometry with an OAK camera. Just "pip install spectacularAI" and run a Python script. Running VIO/SLAM used to be much harder in my opinion.

Handed out 21 NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano kits to students today. I did not realize downloading the JetPack 6.2 image would take so long. Most of the time was spent just downloading or copying the image file😅Only a few teams managed to get the system set up today.

We noticed that DINOv3 was surprisingly strong at matching object features. This inspired L2G (Local Matches to Global Masks). With a few reference images, a robot can search a room for the target object. 🔗 Project: 💻 Code:

We Luis Felipe Casas have successfully deployed an in-hand manipulation policy to the LEAP hand following RL training in MuJoCo Playground. Sim-to-real isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Policy design and real-world tuning matter. Working on improving the policy further.

Big day in class today! With Luis Felipe Casas, we brought 14 SO-101 arms for students to assemble and take home for projects UT Dallas. Excited to see what they create by semester’s end! 🤖

We can replay the HO-Cap data in #IsaacSim No physics enabled. It is setting the poses of hands and objects according to our annotations
