Excited to share that our work NeuralActuator: Neural Actuation Modeling for Robot Dynamics and External Force Perception has been accepted to #RSS2026! Your robot — even a low-cost one — can feel external forces without torque or tactile sensors. TL;DR: NeuralActuator is a

Our perception stack today is a mosaic — MoGe for depth/normals, SAM3 for segmentation, Grounding DINO for open-vocab detection — each with its own preprocessing and failure modes. Long-horizon tasks compound this: every subpolicy wants a different input. Collapsing all of it

vision🍌 is here vision-banana.github.io if you got into computer vision the way I did, starting with pixel-level labeling tasks like segmentation, edges, depth, or surface normals, you’ll probably feel the same seeing these results -- something big has quietly shifted, and it’s

Coding agents are deployable today partly because we sandbox them: actions are validated and reversible before they touch production. Robots have no sandbox — the physical world has no undo. One core function of a world model is to be exactly that: a sandbox for the physical

1. I never said LLMs were not useful. They are, particularly with all the bells and whistles that are being added to them. I use them. 2. A robot-rich future can't be built with AIs that don't understand the physical world and don't anticipate the consequences of their actions.
