4 football fields worth of robot vacuum cleaning in 18 months! Amazing what a sub-$200 AUD, lidar-equipped and full mapping function #robot vacuum cleaner can do nowadays! linkedin.com/posts/michaeljโฆ
Back at my alma mater @UQ_News today for the Kingston AI Group (KAIG) meeting: linkedin.com/posts/michaeljโฆ
I found a new compelling personal need for particularly high speed internet: Google Takeout (an archive of all your Google Photos, etc...). You get it in multiple 50 GB zip files and with a 1 week download time limit to get it all down. You can request it again but start fresh.
Your #PhD awaits at the QUT Centre for Robotics: applications close shortly for international and domestic applicants, more details in the link: linkedin.com/posts/michaeljโฆ #robotics #research #QUTRobotics #QUT #opportunity #student #university #careers

Day 2 of #RSS2025: great research talks and early career spotlight, posters, our Past Present and Future of Robotics Research Panel, fun with #Waymo #robotaxis and a night time trip to the colorful Santa Monica pier. linkedin.com/posts/michaeljโฆ #robotics #LA @RoboticsSciSys
โAs a PHD student, your job is not publishing a paper every quarter. Focus on a problem in deep understanding and solve it in years under the protect of your adviserโ from @RussTedrake #RSS2025
Joined as a panel to have a fruitful discussion on the past, present and the future of robotics at RSS 2025!
The past, present and future of robotics panel chaired by @maththrills at #RSS2025 is underway on a philosophical note with wonderful panelists Fabio Ramos @chelseabfinn @RussTedrake @HollingerG90964 Ayoung Kim and @haroldsoh . @lucacarlone1 and @aprorok - great innovation at RSS

If you're at #RSS2025 and a #runner or #walker, you can construct routes of arbitrary length from within the secure USC campus: this is a ~5km (3 mile) "2 lap" route through the campus. Quite pleasant temps and lovely scenery early in the morning...



If you're at #RSS2025 and want some free cool 3D foldable robots - for you or your kids ๐, drop by the right coffee stand this morning @lucacarlone1 @AFontanVillcmp #robotics #kids #foldables

Day 1 of #RSS2025 done - robots, research, catch-ups and a workshop linkedin.com/posts/michaeljโฆ
#RSS2025, our (robotics) boutique single track "small" conference, has 1260+ registrations this year, a new record! ๐ฎ A fun challenge for future chairs to keep the single track ethos and a viable acceptance rate (27% this year) if it continues to grow.

Join us tomorrow at #RSS2025 in the main conference track for what should be a fascinating panel on the past, present and future of robotics with six leading #roboticists: linkedin.com/posts/michaeljโฆ
