From seeing → to understanding → now to following.... In the previous video, we showed how the robot sees and navigates the world. This time, we’ve upgraded SR Agentic — it can now identify a designated person and autonomously follow them in real-time. Powered by perception + reasoning + adaptive navigation, the robot doesn’t just react - it tracks intent and moves with purpose.show more

How can we more effectively leverage robot data from... different embodiments for skill transfer? Excited to share that our new work, RoVi-Aug, has been accepted to Conference on Robot Learning as an oral paper！ WIth RoVi-Aug, you can augment an existing robot dataset into a different robot and different viewpoints. A policy trained on the augmented dataset can zero-shot deploy on the unseen target robot with significantly different camera angles! 🧵👇 🔗 Check out our paper:show more

🤖 One predictive backbone, three distinct tasks, consistent gains:... a strong signal that investing in reusable world models is the right abstraction for robot learning. Toyota Research Institute (TRI) just ran the same idea three different ways—and it worked each time. Using our NVIDIA Cosmos Predict 2–style world models, they hit SOTA with dynamic view synthesis, teleop data augmentation (even up against MimicGen as an upper bound), and navigation world models. 🙌 📚 dynamic view synthesis 📚 teleop data augmentation (also compare to MimicGen as an upper bound) 📚 navigation world models 📸 fromshow more

Tennessee State University along with other HBCU’s are celebrating... after police had to escort us off campus for our safety. To be clear, the cops didn’t ask us to leave due to being there without permission. They decided after 10 minutes that for our safety, it’s best that we end the event. Due to a hostile mob, the cops were forced to escort us to our cars.show more

The video is proof that Indian drivers have :... ☠️ No Hazard Perception ☠️ No Driver Education ☠️ No Safety Knowledge No amount of training can fix this as they're ready to face ☠️ with a smiling face. 🔥The bus can rear end them. 🔥The container truck can brake suddenly and they can have an underride crash 🔥 They could be sandwiched between the container and oil tanker. N number of possibilities to have a crash. The behaviour on roads is just like a child who has no fear of fire,and learns the lesson the hard way by burning fingers. We don't have an adult to teach them unfortunately. Avoid excessive risk taking on roads, everything can end in a matter of seconds. #HazardPerception #DriverEducation #IndianRoads Road Safety Guy @SafetyOverSpeed Team Road Squad🚦🚴‍♀️ Naresh R-Threeshow more

A Tesla on Full Self-Driving blows through a stop... sign at 35mph and nearly collides with two cars. The kicker is that this was during a livestream debate-demo-drive between FSD fan Ross Gerber and FSD skeptic Dan O'Dowd. This should go without saying, but for an automated system to be at the safety level of a human, this cannot happen. The fact that this occurred yesterday during THIS drive (along with other safety-critical disengagements) should serve as statistical evidence of how frequent this is occurring. IMO, this is the biggest nail in the Tesla FSD coffin.show more

The era of ultra-high-resolution imaging has arrived. Modern image... sensors exceeding 200 MP resolution are common in smartphones, with over 400 MP sensors under development. However, the large number of pixels poses significant challenges for acquisition and processing, especially on edge devices. Which pixels should be acquired, and when, for bandwidth-efficient imaging and perception? We introduce Policy-based Foveated Imaging and Perception, an on-device, real-time, predictive, and task-aware framework that dynamically allocates sensor resolution to prioritize important regions under specific perception objectives. This paper will be presented at #SIGGRAPH2026! [1/6]show more
