Excited to share recent work with @kaihuac5 and @RamananDeva where we learn to do novel view synthesis for dynamic scenes in a self-supervised manner, only from 2D videos! webpage: cog-nvs.github.io arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2507.12646 code (soon): github.com/Kaihua-Chen/co…
mtmason.com/the-inner-robo… Many robotics researchers today hold a pessimistic view and think manipulation is solved and the only thing left to do is to scale up. This is why I really like this article, which shows a few potentially very large gap that most people have ignored.
Excited to share that our paper, "Multi-Robot Motion Planning with Diffusion Models," has been selected for a Spotlight presentation at #ICLR2025!🔦🤖 We scale diffusion planning to dozens of robots *without* multi-robot data by using search. Project: multi-robot-diffusion.github.io 🧵
🎇 I’m on the academic job market! I’m a PhD candidate at @mldcmu. My research tackles challenges that arise from the sequential nature of human-AI interaction. Toward this goal, my work involves: 🤖 reinforcement learning, 🧠 foundation models, and 👩💻 human-centered AI.…
We are lucky for all the free, public, accessible, and open-source software/tutorials/presentations @roboticseabass consistently produces. I don’t know how he does it. And I’m extra lucky to also be his coworker 😛 Do check out his work if you haven’t already!
As an academic, I’m clearly biased. Yet, seeing the Open AI drama unfold, I can’t help but think that, for all their flaws, universities are still the best way to keep knowledge creation open.
“The thing I’m most proud of in my work are the people.” “At the end of the day, we’re in a people business and seeeing them succeed is really the biggest joy that I get.”

this but I do think there is a legitimate problem with the technology itself, in that there’s no (economical) way to aggregate enough training data without massive data theft and misuse. there’s nothing wrong with transformers the *idea* but training LLMs is a priori ~not great.

I decided to try my hand at blogging during my sabbatical. First up: "I am your PhD advisor: but what does that actually mean?" On the importance of setting clear expectations in the advisor-advisee relationship, and my version of these in written form. open.substack.com/pub/animajumda…

So much push back against this. Nonsense! Academia is clearly a meritocracy and there are absolutely no other problems with the publication incentive so all we need is to give smart kids a chance! Hence proved! /s But really—kids, if you're reading this, go outside and play!🏏⚽️

It's always amazing to me how we talk so much about end to end, and then we see results like this - with robots actually generalizing in a new environment - and it's basically an engineered, classical planning system powered by VLMs. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
