AI Era Fuels Solo VC-Backed Startups
I've met several VC-funded one-person startups in the past few months - another sign of the AI coding age.
Neural Network Predicts Future Frames From User Motion
Check out this cool robotics "world model" demo: https://www.yixuanwang.me/interactive_world_sim/#interactive-demo Rather than a traditional simulation, this neural network predicts future video frames based on user movement.
Easily Compare Top Robotics Reward Functions on Your Videos
for robotics researchers: there's many fantastic reward functions out there (TOPReward, Robometer, GVL, etc), so I made a lil website so you easily evaluate them on your own videos. Try: https://philfung.github.io/rewardscope/
Robot Learns by Real‑world Play, Not Simulation
Super awesome - instead of learning in sim, the robot *learns in real life*, moving objects like a toddler for 26+ hours. I feel for the poor Cal grad student who had to babysit this 😔 https://tether-research.github.io
