we open sourced the code to transform human videos... into robot trajectories, so you can train robots with your hands 👐🏻 we used it in our recent paper R+X: Retrieval and Execution from Everyday Human Videos (ICRA 2025 🇺🇸) link and details in thread 🧵show more

How can we leverage diverse human videos to improve... robot manipulation? Excited to introduce EgoVLA — a Vision-Language-Action model trained on egocentric human videos by explicitly modeling wrist & hand motion. We build a shared action space between humans and robots, enabling seamless transfer. With some robot demos, EgoVLA becomes a powerful, generalizable robot policy.show more

This also shows up in the representations learned by... the model. We plot the model’s representations of human and robot images. As pre-training is scaled up, the representation of humans and robots become more aligned: to a scaled-up model, human videos "look" like robot demos.show more

“The hand is where the mind meets the world.”... — Carl Zimmer Humanoid hands closely replicating human degrees of freedom enable robots to seamlessly integrate into our world and learn more efficiently from human demonstrations. A look at some of the impressive hands from 2024🧵show more

Grasps are one of the primary ways in which... we interact with and shape our environments. How can we faithfully capture human grasps with details such as hand/object shape and contact points? At #CVPR2026, we present MANUS, a method to accurately reconstruct grasps and contacts. 🧵show more

Robot hands are already becoming more powerful than human... hands. The next big AGI moment is when we can buy fancy robots for $100K to do all the housework!show more

Diffuman4D: 4D Consistent Human View Synthesis from Sparse-View Videos... with Spatio-Temporal Diffusion Models Contributions: • We introduce Diffuman4D, a novel diffusion model that generates spatio-temporally consistent and high-resolution (1024p) human videos from sparse-view video inputs. • We propose a sliding iterative denoising mechanism that enhances both the spatial and temporal consistency of generated long-term videos while maintaining efficient inference. • We design a human pose conditioning scheme to enhance the appearance quality and motion accuracy of generated human videos. • We plan to release our processed version of the DNA-Rendering dataset, which we believe will benefit future research in this area.show more

We have released the code and weights for our... #CVPR2023 paper "Avatars Grow Legs: Generating Smooth Human Motion from Sparse Tracking Inputs with Diffusion Model"! code: abs: project: The demo is below:show more

Don't you have a haptic chair for VR gaming?... Don't worry, your friendly humanoid robot can help you with that! In a recent research paper from the University of Colorado, researchers experimented with using a humanoid robot to literally grab your chair and move it during VR racing sessions to make the game more realistic. And from the users' feedback, it seemed to work. I guess they took inspiration from those viral videos, where in some low-budget arcades, the owner literally moved the station with his own hands. I can't wait for the fail videos caused by this technology... Full video is available here: #VirtualReality #VR #technologyshow more

Proud to announce Dobb·E: the next step in home... robot system that I was working on for the past 3 years. We have visited 10 homes, learned 100+ tasks, and we are just getting started! And we fully open-sourced it all, hardware, models, and software: 🧵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
