There has been a clear trend in the last months moving from VLA-type approaches to Video Generative Models + Inverse Dynamics Models (VAM). While the probable main reason of this recent growth is the latest improvements in video generative models, I believe this shift is

While I really liked the article, it feels to me that this physical commonsense can be better capture by predicting next observations (i.e. world models) and planning on it, rather than training a policy on predicting next action (i.e. behavioral cloning)

It should exist. It’s everywhere. And yet — hard to pin down. The next time you grab an object tightly packed on a shelf — like a book or a box — watch what your hands do. Do you nudge it sideways to...

This was very challenging and very cool to see evolve! I personally was no sure if it would work, but @irmakkguzey pushed so hard to show it does. Learning dexterous robot policies with only human video data, using the egocentric view from Aria2 glasses, chill and easy 😁

Dexterous manipulation by directly observing humans - a dream in AI for decades - is hard due to visual and embodiment gaps. With simple yet powerful hardware - Aria 2 glasses 👓 - and our new work AINA 🪞, we are now one significant step closer to achieving this dream.

Anyone interested in tactile sensing for robotics should be following Akash's solid releases. How should we integrate rich tactile sensing modality for policy learning?

Robots need touch for human-like hands to reach the goal of general manipulation. However, approaches today don’t use tactile sensing or use specific architectures per tactile task. Can 1 model improve many tactile tasks? 🌟Introducing Sparsh-skin: tinyurl.com/y935wz5c 1/6
