The new @stateofaireport features our work OMNI-EPIC! 📰 stateof.ai We have recently released the code on GitHub, check it out: 💻 dub.sh/omniepic 🌟 github.com/maxencefaldor/…
🪩The @stateofaireport 2024 has landed! 🪩 Our seventh installment is our biggest and most comprehensive yet, covering everything you *need* to know about research, industry, safety and politics. As ever, here's my director’s cut (+ video tutorial!) 🧵
Had a great time at #ICLR2025, especially at the Robot Learning Workshop, where our paper Instant Policy (w/ @Ed__Johns) won the Best Paper Award! It's an exciting time for in-context learning and robotics! 🦾 robot-learning.uk/instant-policy
Several people from the AIRL lab and I are at ICLR'25 this week. Come to see our latest work and have a chat. See below for the full program!
We will be presenting OMNI-EPIC today afternoon at #ICLR2025 ! Do drop by to say hi, ask questions, or give any feedback 🤩👂 work done together with @maxencefaldor, @CULLYAntoine, @jeffclune
Thrilled that we have been recognized as a Top 100 AI startup! So proud of our team. ✨
We have been named among the top 100 Al startups globally by @CBinsights, alongside @Figure_robot, @wayve_ai and @dexoryHQ! With only a handful of gaming companies listed, we are proud to be defining a new category of interactive worlds and experiences cbinsights.com/research/repor…
Presenting Intelligent Go-Explore at poster #282 now! @shengranhu @jeffclune
Excited to introduce Intelligent Go-Explore: Foundation model (FM) agents have the potential to be invaluable, but struggle to learn hard-exploration tasks! Our new algorithm drastically improves their exploration abilities via Go-Explore + FM intelligence. Led by @cong_ml🧵1/
