It's Friday afternoon, and we’re packing for L4DC 2025 @l4dc_conf next week 😎 Excited to share MS-HGNN — our take on bringing morphological symmetry into GNNs for legged robot dynamics. 🧵 (1/4) We bake both kinematics and morphological symmetry into the model → -…
A special ICRA — a reunion with my former groups and a new beginning with my current one! #ICRA2025 @UMRobotics @Caltech @GTrobotics
🚀 Gearing up for ICRA 2025 in Atlanta! Our Lunar Lab @ Georgia Tech is bringing the heat: 🌟 MI-HGNN & MS-HGNN for legged robot dynamics 🤖 STATE-NAV for humanoid traversability and navigation 🎙️ Prof. Lu Gan @ganlumomo speaks at two workshops: Foundation Models and…
Big congrats to all my dear lab mates! I am proud of you and can’t wait to see the great things you’ll do in the future!
I graduated 6 PhD students since last year! Ray Zhang -> Research Scientist at @ToyotaResearch @JustinTzuYuan -> Postdoc at MIT w/ @SangbaeMIT @CynthiaChienErh -> Applied Scientist at Amazon Robotics Tribhi Kathuria -> Lecturer at @UMRobotics @SangliTeng -> Postdoc at UC…
Congratulations!
Very happy to announce that my PhD student Fan Jiang (@FanOnRobotics) successfully defended yesterday, on "Inertially-Aided Navigation with Ultra-Wideband Wireless Ranging". Fan did some cool work with factor graphs and also built a rust-powered UWB ranging device in the process.
We're thrilled to host a lab tour and engaging robot demos for local K-12 students during National Robotics Week! Excited to inspire the next generation and share the amazing world of robotics. 🚀🤖 #RoboticsWeek #STEM #Outreach @GTrobotics @GTaerospace
Part 2 of SLAM handbook is out for public comments! let us know what you think :-) Issue tracker on GitHub awaits! Link in comments.
Our recent paper, "MAGIC-VFM: Meta-learning Adaptation for Ground Interaction Control with Visual Foundation Models," has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Robotics (TRO)! This work presents an offline meta-learning algorithm to build a residual dynamics and…
Congratulations to the team!
Accepted to ICRA 2025! 🎉 We introduce MI-HGNN, a morphology-informed heterogeneous graph neural network built directly from a robot’s URDF. By embedding robot morphological constraints, MI-HGNN significantly enhances model efficiency and learning performance. Applied to contact…
Respect her wisdom and courage showed from her response. Thanks for speaking out!
It is just so sad that the #NeurIPS2024 main conference ended with such a racist remark by a faculty when talking about ethics. How ironic! I also want to commend the Chinese student who spoke up right on spot. She was respectful, decent, and courageous. Her response was…
