New in @ScienceMagazine 🎉 Really excited to share that SONIC is now published in Science Robotics! SONIC formulates super-scaling motion tracking as the foundational task for more natural and robust whole-body control. Our learned tracker and latent space further support

This is all very impressive but are they playing dressup with their Unitree G1s

🚀 @saturdayrobotic Robotics & World Models Reading Club #20: keynote @HaoruXue (@UCBerkeley) on CaP-X, ENPIRE, plus Kris Hauser (@Samsung_RA)'s vision for Physical AI. Robotics is waiting for better agents. For years we optimized policies. Today’s VLAs solve ~1-second

When will we get to ROI? Attempts in RL/DAgger post-training continuously happen at various points on this curve. Specialization has value. But I fear the current crazed investment is pushing ROI later in the timeline. I hope it comes before this round of the bubble bursts. 7/
