Am going to assume that's what meant by simulation is 2-d. And am going to assume that the challenge was to move from 2-d to 3-d. If so, I would have appreciated a little insight into how this was done. There are geometries that are used for robot movement, such at cat(0) complexes, that you can analytically perform robotic movement in 2-d space but you can't in 3-d (even with sampling methods). So, just a few math equations to explain what's actually happening would have been appreciated.
I'm an inventor that's started to work on industrial robotics. IMO, the problem with the bin packing robot is that you haven't deconstructed the problem to take advantage of a robot's strength. For instance, one advantage could be a very long arm. So, rather than place the items into the bin, as a human would, the items are placed from the top of the bin. That is, they're placed in order from bottom to top. This can only be possible if a robot has a large arm. There are other advantages such as the use of gravity to filter and push the items together, that only a robot could do that a human can't. In any case, thanks for the presentation.
Where's the MIT robot? This is all sh*t. The Big Lie of Academia is that all they do is write and accept each others' papers while industry has software that talks to people and answers any question that you ask and writes software to do whatever you ask, and robots that walk, run, jump and play sports like ping pong and soccer. MIT is supposed to be the center of AI and Computer Science but they don't have any of that. and right now academia is still having AI conferences and presenting papers instead of results. Ha Ha HA what utter nonsense and BS!!! They're also BS in set theory and mathematical proofs. They says that ZF set theory can prove anything that can be proven, but they have no examples of even common mathematical proofs. When you ask them, they say their proof is so long they can't give it and won't even summarize it or give the beginning and end. They say they have automatic theorem provers but there are no RU-vid videos with any examples and the manuals don't give any. They are all fraud and spending United States government research money on fraud. They should be in jail for cheating the government out of money.
I imagine a robot without motors, it needs to be a microbot that can hover just because of air currents like the dandelion seed . But it needs to be intelligence , I mean that it can move some arms in order to go forward backward left or right . Could be cool idea
I guess most research in robotics is on the algorithms . right ? Its like thinking millions applications of robotics arms and then do a paper . The first country that can have the best humanoid robot will win the race ...
Geometric and Lie group methods is the core concept. Many fundamental topics are available in this online course thought at the University of Michigan ru-vid.com/group/PLdMorpQLjeXmbFaVku4JdjmQByHHqTd1F&si=NGFew9AB_TJLT-da
I dropped out to work on motion cueing and specifically because of RL via. simulation, it's been approachable. What used to be state of the art (which in hindsight, just 5 years ago seems so 👣i.e. no sensors or feedback in the control-loop), to be influenced so easily is another testament to the quiet revolution he's talking about. The reason is the resources it took: (1 person) + Internet + LLMs eventually. Excuses are, not to use AI 🤷♂
5.8mil 78 likes. This is amazing an freaking. Military maby are looking for this with attention. Imagine bigger flying objects moving like that autonomously every where.
Great talk. Particularly given the last question/answer, and the work being done in the commercial space building robot simulator technology (NVIDIA, AWS, others).
