Wrapped up my IROS 2025 presentation! Thanks to those that joined, and if you missed it and are interested in legged locomotion, see paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2503.06050

Grippers are one of the most intricate parts of a humanoid robot: packed with actuation and sensing, durable enough to handle tough jobs and precise enough to handle fragile items. Our engineers share the Atlas gripper's evolution and design principles.
Excited to share our next work from @merl_news, Energy-Efficient Motion Planner for Legged Robots, accepted to @IROS2025! See arxiv.org/abs/2503.06050 and piped.video/watch?v=dcjfNw1K…. Looking forward to seeing you in Hangzhou, China (October 19-25)!
Thank you @Yuki_Doradora for celebrating my birthday!! 🥰

How can a robot climb on ceilings and bouldering walls? Meet SCALER: a multi-limbed climber w ith 7 grasp modes and a torso actuation for robotic free-climbing.
Our paper’s been accepted to IEEE TRO! 🔗 ieeexplore.ieee.org/document…

We just released the first alpha version of GTSAM 4.3. It has been a long time coming, but happy to share our many updates during #ICRA2025 . Release link below. In Python: “pip install gtsam==4.3a0”

Atlas is demonstrating reinforcement learning policies developed using a motion capture suit. This demonstration was developed in partnership with Boston Dynamics and @rai_inst.

There's a giant leap in difficulty between making a robot that does something cool and building a solution that does something useful.

Super cool work by @yt_robotics @DennisHongRobot @RoMeLaUCLA
I wanted to share a new Robotic internship opportunity at @MERL! If the idea of working on Active SLAM with Large Language Models excites you, please consider applying to the internship: merl.com/employment/internsh…
Also feel free to share in case you know someone who may be a fit

Unitree B2-W Talent Awakening! 🥳
One year after mass production kicked off, Unitree’s B2-W Industrial Wheel has been upgraded with more exciting capabilities.
Please always use robots safely and friendly.

Had a great time at one of my best friend’s wedding! Attending weddings really is a beautiful thing. Also met my music teacher from High School, Mr. Dea, one of the best teachers I ever had. Brings back memories when I played the clarinet in the wind ensemble.
Our group at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, located in Cambridge, MA, USA, is looking for talented interns to work on exciting topics within the Loco-Manipulation domain for the purpose of Human-Robot Collaboration: Apply using link below: merl.com/employment/internsh…
Finally, biped video without teleop. Looks amazing 🥰
Atlas is autonomously moving engine covers between supplier containers and a mobile sequencing dolly, using ML to detect and localize the environment fixtures and individual bin. There are no prescribed or teleoperated movements. piped.video/F_7IPm7f1vI
