researchers these days are spoiled by how good simulators are. i remember habitat...

1/N Long horizon, complex tasks that truly matter in everyday life are not solved problems by today’s robotics, requiring planning, object detection, object manipulation, and failure recovery. That's why Stanford's BEHAVIOR Challenge is back for year 2! Last year, the winning solution reached only 12.4% full task success. This year, the BEHAVIOR challenge has more tasks, better evaluation, and is easier to use. 🚨 ⏰ Submission deadline: 10/16/2026 📣 Winners announced: 11/04/2026 🏆 Prize pool: $11,000

Okay so, we just found that over 50 papers published at @Neurips 2025 have AI hallucinations I don't think people realize how bad the slop is right now It's not just that researchers from @GoogleDeepMind, @Meta, @MIT, @Cambridge_Uni are using AI - they allowed LLMs to generate hallucinations in their papers and didn't notice at all. It's insane that these made it through peer review👇

This came as a total surprise this morning. Very humbled… 🙏 AI is built by generations of technologists, starting with the daring question of “can machines think?” by Alan Turing. It will be further developed, used and governed by many and all of us! Let’s keep our AI mission human-centered for the benefit of humanity! And I can’t wait to see where AI’s next frontier - spatial intelligence - will be taking us!

A couple of days ago, I presented our 1st place solution for the 2025 BEHAVIOR Challenge at @NeurIPSConf . Now, we've open-sourced our solution: code, model weights, and a detailed tech report. Let me unpack what we did 👇

Ruohan has been a great advisor and friend throughout the BEHAVIOR project (that's 4 years of working together on the same thing!), and now he's starting his own group at Northwestern. I 100% recommend reaching out to him if you're interested in doing a Robotics / AI PhD!

The 2025 BEHAVIOR Challenge, launched by @drfeifei's team at Stanford, is a global competition to train robots in household tasks, testing reasoning, navigation, and manipulation in simulated homes. ⦿ 50 tasks, 1,000 activities (e.g., cooking, cleaning) ⦿ 10,000 expert demos (1,200+ hours) ⦿ Baselines methods like ACT, OpenVLA, and π0 The submission deadline is November 15th. behavior.stanford.edu/challe…

Check out BRS, especially our setup for teleoperating simulated AND real robots to solve BEHAVIOR-1K tasks! In these realistic tasks, key objects are at various horizontal and vertical distances that make most robot embodiments and teleop systems unsuitable. JoyLo to the rescue!

The only piece of advice I give to undergrads that want to get into research is to cold email PhD students with a good track record. Most undergrads are bottlenecked by research ideas whereas good PhD students have way too many ideas that they cannot execute. If you can code reasonably well, PhD students will be more than happy to work with you

🏆We are thrilled that our Embodied Agent Interface (x.lingyaoai.com/manlingli_/status/1854…) received the Best Paper Award at SoCal NLP 2024 (~top 0.4%)! ❤️A big thank you to our incredible team @jiajunwu_cs @drfeifei @percyliang @maojiayuan @RuohanZhang76 @Weiyu_Liu_ @shiyuzhao @qineng_wang @James_KKW @yu_bryan_zhou @tonyh_lee @sanjana__z @cgokmenAI @erranli, the work was made possible with support from @StanfordAILab @StanfordSVL @stanfordnlp @StanfordHAI @northwesterncs

Check out our just-released CoRL 2024 paper to find out how the BEHAVIOR-1K stack can be leveraged for real-sim-real transfers even in the absence of exact digital twins of objects using some neat tricks!

Check out our new work@CVPR (Highlight)! When a new vision model is released, instead of taking photos or searching for Internet images, our BVS is a tool that allows you to generate customized data with free labels to systematically test the model.

Excited to share that my book, The Worlds I See, will be published on Nov 7, 2023 from @Flatironbooks & @melindagates' Moment of Lift Books. I believe AI can help people & I hope you’ll come along on the journey. Preorder momentoflift.com/the-worlds-… #MoemtnofLiftBooks #WorldsISee 1/

Bi geliştirici olarak, başka oyunlarla ilgili atıp tutmak haddime değil. AMA Reklamında "Türk gururu, milli destek" haricinde en ufak bi satış noktası yoksa, orada art niyet ararım. Bu duygu sömürüsü vibeları, Türk oyun sektörü için gerçekten emek verenlere de zarar veriyor.
