See you next Sundae! 🤖🍨
A huge thank you to everyone who joined @SundaeRobotics 07! 🤖🍨 Special thanks to @LinfengZhaoZLF for an outstanding talk on Long-Horizon Robot Manipulation, Hierarchical Control & World Models with Retriever. Next Sundae (luma.com/s0rw0atx), we're excited to host @tylerlum23 (5th-year CS PhD at Stanford, The Movement Lab & Interactive Perception and Robot Learning Lab) for Dexterous Manipulation, Simulation & Precise Assembly... from large-scale RL and zero-shot sim-to-real dexterous tool use with SimToolReal to play pretraining, precise contact-rich assembly, and Play2Perfect. 🤖🦾 Thanks @menemazarakis @Joshuabrowder @drjingxi @angelajiazhang

🤖📷 Sharing the second Sundae Robotics event, a series bringing together a tight-knit group of robotics researchers, founders, and builders for frontier talks, technical discussions, and sundaes. This session features @ChanghaoWang78, a Stanford postdoctoral researcher and former Meta FAIR researcher, presenting his work on DexterityGen and SPIDER, two approaches for learning dexterous robot manipulation from human demonstrations and transferring skills across embodiments.

Yesterday, we launched the first 🤖🍨 Sundae Robotics, the Bay Area’s reading club presenting moonshots on robotics, dexterity, cross-embodiment, and world models. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and especially to @drjingxi and @litian_liang for presenting the Universal Manipulation Exoskeleton. We ended the afternoon with a robot fetching a beer from the fridge and delivering it to @thejonohart. Cheers to Sundae Robotics 01, and many more Sundays ahead! 🍻🤖 Sundae Robotics 02 RSVP link in the comments!
