It was definitely time for a profile picture update featuring some cool robots, a graduation moment, and a little bit of my PhD advisor @StefanieTellex! @amazon needs to give me a proper headshot photo. 🚀

Remember to find @jasonxyliu at ICRA and discuss his insights!
How can robots reuse learned policies to solve novel tasks without retraining? In our #ICRA2024 paper, we leverage the compositionality of task specification to transfer skills learned from a set of training tasks to solve novel tasks zero-shot

THIS IS SO EXCITING! Congratulations! Highly well-deserved! @MatthewGombolay
I won the NSF CAREER award!!! I’ll be honest, this was my 3rd and final try: it was a journey. I couldn’t have succeeded w/o my amazing students in the @core_robotics lab, the mentorship of Prof Sonia Chernova, @mark_riedl, & the community in @GTrobotics @gtcomputing. 🙏

Check out this informative blog post by @StefanieTellex on our latest CoRL paper. Come to our poster today at CoRL and ask @jasonxyliu @ZiyiYang96 @ankitjs, all your questions! We have a cool demo on our website too!
Check out our latest CoRL paper, where we demonstrate "out of the box" language understanding for richly structured expressive commands. We make language understanding as easy to use as speech recognition! brown.edu/news/2023-11-06/hu…

this is momentous for the whole @huggingface team and a testament to truly great work that they are doing in AI congrats @ClementDelangue and @Thom_Wolf
Super excited to welcome our new investors @SalesforceVC, @Google, @amazon, @nvidia, @AMD, @intel, @QualcommVenture, @IBM & @sound_ventures_ who all participated in @huggingface’s $235M series D at a $4.5B valuation to celebrate the crossing of 1,000,000 models, datasets and apps on the platform. These partners alone already shared over 1,000 open models and datasets and have over 10,000 users on Hugging Face. It takes a village to democratize good machine learning thanks to open-source and we’re just getting started! 🤗🎉🚀

Had an intense week. - presented my work at HIRL @ @HRI_Conference - Moderated a panel discussion of amazing women in Tech. @pwic_org - Worked crazy for research but still decided NOT to submit to a conference. I was cutting too close. - Remembered to deep breath and eat food.
