Research arc: ⏪ 2 yrs ago, we introduced VRB: learning from hours of human videos to cut down teleop (Gibson🙏) ▶️ Today, we explore a wilder path: robots deployed with no teleop, no human demos, no affordances. Just raw video generation magic 🙏 Day 1 of faculty life done! 😉…

🚀 Introducing RIGVid: Robots Imitating Generated Videos! Robots can now perform complex tasks—pouring, wiping, mixing—just by imitating generated videos, purely zero-shot! No teleop. No OpenX/DROID/Ego4D. No videos of human demonstrations. Only AI generated video demos 🧵👇

SpecLog is an extremely insightful piece of work from our lab (DASSL) at @siebelschool which shines light on reducing the end-to-end latency in shared log abstractions by leveraging speculative ordering! .@shreesha00 and folks DASSL have done a phenomenal job, check it out!

AAishwarya Ganesan@AishwaryaGanlat · Jul 9

Today, Shreesha (@shreesha00) presented our work on Speclog at OSDI 25. Speclog is a new shared log that achieves low end-to-end latencies for real-time applications. (1/8)
