🔥#Legged_Robot_SLAM, State Estimation & Locomotion🔥 KAIST Urban Robotics Lab Ph.D

Joined December 2016
During my graduate course, I had the opportunity to integrate a Mesh network-based Distributed Multi-Robot communication and evaluation system. This system utilized a synchronized time handler across robots to obtain reliable evaluation metrics. This system was also utilized in our latest work, Commerge. youtu.be/LV_8_jZbHV8?si=PzIT…

🤪maintainer of GTSAM, Gatech phd, auto rejected for a state estimation role.
Hiring in robotics is so funny. I applied to @shieldaitech for a state estimation role, especially since the job description listed being familiar with libraries like GTSAM. You'd think I would be a great fit. Got a rejection email in less than a week without any interviews. :)

An early video of testing state estimation solutions for box climbing. Livox+dlio vs odin1
With @JayHe748646 @KehanWen170077 @leggedrobotics , we push humanoid mobility to next frontier. Achieved by a generalist contact planner + a generalist tracker + a generalized neural mapping, warmstarted from few human data. Website: leggedrobotics.github.io/ACP… Promo Video 👇

How can we represent whole-body interaction for humanoid robots—compactly enough for low-frequency planning, yet richly enough to preserve high-frequency feedback control? Introducing FIBER! 🤖 FIBER learns a unified latent interface between high-level planning and whole-body control, enabling a humanoid to acquire diverse interaction behaviors from heterogeneous experts through a pretrained, frozen Behavior Foundation Model (BFM). With a single planner and BFM, we demonstrate heavy-door pushing, box carrying, object grasping, controllable navigation, and more! 🌍 Website & Live Demo: fiberaa.github.io 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2610.24675 A thread on the ideas behind FIBER 🧵👇

No prior data. No rewards. No pretrained models. Can an RL agent learn to solve extremely long-horizon tasks (e.g., 5-cube stacking) from scratch? We show it can! C-Slerp learns hyperspherical contrastive representations and infers waypoints from them in closed form 🧵👇

회사 10년 다니면서 배운 게 있다. 나가는 사람 말로 바뀔 회사였으면 다니는 동안 이미 바뀌었다. 그래서 나는 퇴사 면담에서 이 말만 한다. "회사는 바꿀 게 없습니다. 제가 안 맞았을 뿐입니다." 냉정한 게 아니다. 나를 지키는 거다.

📢OneCanvas (NeurIPS'26 Spotlight) Code Release📢 What if a 2D VLM could see the whole scene in one view? We reproject features from every frame into a single occlusion-free canvas to make a stock VLM reason in 3D! 🔗 github.com/baranowskibrt/one… 🌐 baranowskibrt.github.io/onec…
📢 OneCanvas: 3D Scene Understanding via Panoramic Reprojection We extract features from video frames and reproject them into one occlusion-free view of the whole scene that a 2D VLM reads just like a normal image. We can center this view on any viewpoint, including an agent's own pose for situated reasoning. The same projection lets us create spatial training tasks with no human annotation, solvable only by reasoning over the 3D positions of real object features placed on an otherwise empty canvas. The result is a stock 2D VLM that reasons in 3D, setting a new state of the art across spatial benchmarks at far less compute. 🌐 baranowskibrt.github.io/onec… ▶️ youtu.be/NIaHLB9gA7s Great work by @baranowskibrt & @davech2y

We’ll have two presentations at #IROS2026, featuring EFGCL and its extension, WARL! We’d love to see you there! Details about the presentations are in the thread below ↓

⚡ One policy, millions of embodiments, over 200 robot models. Can we add yours? We're building γ₀, a generalist RL policy for motion control trained across millions of randomized embodiments derived from a growing collection of more than 200 robot models.

As written, I disagree. People destroy precision with DR to be robust to poor models, and you fundamentally can’t do both at the same time without an explicit estimator, at which point you’re just doing adaptive + robust control, which have better guarantees.

토큰 맥서들의 결말 – 로컬 LLM이 답이라며 고가의 하드웨어 사재기 – 에이전트를 위한 에이전트를 만들다가 열화된 결과물에 주화입마 – 폭증하는 코드를 감당 못해 개인 비서 만들다 목적을 상실 – 결과물이 안나오니 그저 과정을 소셜에 전시하고 파는 일에 집중
