🏓🤖 Our humanoid robot can now rally over 100 consecutive shots against a human in real table tennis — fully autonomous, sub-second reaction, human-like strikes.
Finally arrived in Hangzhou for @IROS2025. I will be giving a talk tomorrow at 1:30 PM in the LeaPRiDE workshop regarding the HITTER project.

CoRL 2026 is cutting review cycles to <3 months to keep pace with the rapid progress in robotics. @ieee_ras_icra@IROS2025 — maybe it’s time to rethink too.
It makes little sense to discuss papers at conferences a year after submission, when they’re already outdated.
The IEEE ICRA 2026 will take place in Vienna, Austria, from June 1–5, 2026.
Stay tuned for upcoming calls for competitions, workshops, and program announcements!

1️⃣/7️⃣🤖⚽ Toward Real-World Cooperative and Competitive Soccer with Quadrupedal Robot Teams
Most learning-based robot-soccer work stays in simulation or tests 1v1. We field real-world games with both cooperation and competition—plus robot-human matches!
We present HDMI, a simple and general framework for learning whole-body interaction skills directly from human videos — no manual reward engineering, no task-specific pipelines.
🤖 67 door traversals, 6 real-world tasks, 14 in simulation.

I'm super excited to announce mjlab today!
mjlab = Isaac Lab's APIs + best-in-class MuJoCo physics + massively parallel GPU acceleration
Built directly on MuJoCo Warp with the abstractions you love.
How can we make a humanoid robot play table tennis? The robot must hit a moving ball and return it over and over again, requiring precise whole-body control over again. @ZhiSu22 tells us about how he developed a hierarchical approach for planning an whole body control that lets
