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

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

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

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

In our new work, we study whether robots can improve after deployment by learning from their own failures, without any human intervention, teleoperation, or corrective labels. The key idea is simple: human videos contain structure about how the world works. We use them to learn cross-embodiment representations of action, dynamics, and value, enabling a shared predictive space between human behavior and robot experience. This allows a new learning loop: 👉 pretrain on human videos 👉 deploy robot policy 👉 observe failures 👉 reinterpret failures using human priors 👉 improve autonomously We evaluate this across 7 real-world manipulation tasks, showing: 📈 40% → 81% success rate 🏆 Strong improvements over π0.6 RECAP and RISE ✔️ Zero human intervention during post-deployment improvement 🧬 Generalizes across robot embodiments and policy backbones A key finding is that explicit failure repair significantly outperforms failure reweighting, yielding substantially larger gains under identical data conditions (+25 pts vs +5 pts on the same π0.5 base policy). Overall, the results suggest a shift in how we think about robot learning: Human videos are not only for pretraining policies. They can provide the structure needed for continual self-improvement after deployment. 📄 Paper: 🌐 Project: I am grateful for working with the fantastic leads Hanzhi Chen and Anran Zhang, and our collaborators Simon Schaefer, Kejia Chen, Shi Chen, Daniel Cremers.

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

We are hiring FT SW/ML and Mechanical roles at... Human Computer Lab Robots aren't just for laundry and dishes in homes. LeLamp has a unique constraint today: it doesn't move through space or manipulate objects. That limitation pushes us to think deeply about how LeLamp can understand human intent and translate it into trajectories that make it feel alive. This makes us singularly focused on defining a new benchmark for interacting with technology — one that feels joyful and makes us more aware of our relationship to it.show more

Hey #NeuraxonMini is literally out! , we manage to... "transplant" a Neuraxon 2 bioinspired #AI brain to a physical robot the #SpheroMini moving from our last Scientific Paper (link bellow) by David Vivancos - e/acc & Jose Sánchez for Qubic #OpenScience hybridized with #Aigarth to the real World. First you need a Sphero Education Mini robot about 50$ Then you can try the first cool demos at Hugging Face: 1.- Neuraxon2MiniControl to drive the sphero robot 2.- Neuraxon2MiniWrite to write letters or words with physical moves of the sphero robot using Neuraxon Video Tutorials on youtube later today. Why this matters? Remember we are not building "dead" LLMs we are building #AliveAIs and for that we need to explore how it behaves in reality, from how it learns to how it fails, and what better way that in the emerging field of #robotics , time will tell if your next #HumanoidRobot have a #Neuraxon brain...
