Oh man I want one of these (obviously to plug a live camera into and really turn SLAM into Spatial AI!)

Speaking of Lego, we had 150 students using it to implement Monte Carlo Localisation today... Always my favourite part of the Robotics course here at Imperial!

Great new computer vision technology for language dubbing from Lourdes and the team at Synthesia!
Really excited to announce that our London based startup Synthesia has just come out of stealth with a demo of our language dubbing technology. Very proud of being part of this brilliant team! youtu.be/PhZpnDqNNmY synthesia.io/

Just sharing Fusion again because I have the feeling that not everyone who needs to has seen it yet ;) We in the Dyson Robotics Lab think this is a huge advance in the capabilities of general object-based SLAM. #SpatialAI
Fusion : Volumetric Object-Level SLAM In SLAM, we think that the hardest question is still finding the right representation. See this new work from the Dyson Robotics Lab where we make a graph map of arbitrary objects. youtu.be/2luKNC03x4k via @YouTube

The next UK Robot Manipulation Workshop will be held at the University of Leeds on 9-10th April 2019. This follows on from the last iteration which was run last year here at Imperial Ed Johns. Nice to see the strong UK community in this area! robot-manipulation.uk/

Very exciting that this leadership in new processor technology has come out of the UK, and especially that they are now openly talking about embedded processors. #SpatialAI arxiv.org/abs/1803.11288
