Reinforcement learning isn't just for robots! In the summer before starting my CS Ph.D. at #Stanford , I spent three amazing months with the U.S. #Navy Marine Mammal program, where I got to observe how animals learn from reinforcement! (1/3)

Super excited to share our work on using audio to help with visually occluded tasks, like extracting keys from a paper bag! We also show that the robot is able to distinguish between two materials by their sounds. Feel free to check out our paper and project website. #RSS2022

Can robots deal with occlusion? We put a microphone on a robot's gripper & found that audio helps robots learn to solve tasks amidst occlusion. #RSS2022 paper: w/ @du_maximilian , Olivia Lee, @SurajNair_1 🧵(1/4)

Here’s an article I wrote about why we shouldn’t romanticize the intelligence of non-human animals. As an AI researcher, I believe it is critical to see intelligence as multifaceted and context-specific

@ZCCZHANG @SurajNair_1 @DorsaSadigh @chelseabfinn Hi! We anticipate that retrieval can benefit long-horizon tasks because we retrieve individual transitions, agnostic to horizon length. In our appendix, we try a similar experiment, where we show that retrieval can help us stitch individual tasks together. (Appendix D.A)
