šŸ“¢ Accepted to TMLR, with reproducibility certification šŸ… v2 of our JEPA-WM study (arXiv:2512.24497) is out, with new data-scaling experiments, a Lipschitz analysis of multistep rollout training, and extended discussions. Recap what's new šŸ‘‡ w/ @JimmyTYYang1, Jean Ponce, @AdrienBardes, @ylecun
My first PhD paper is out! šŸŽ“ "What Drives Success in Physical Planning with Joint-Embedding Predictive World Models?" tl:dr: JEPA-WMs for robotics: learn dynamics on top of visual encoders, optimize actions towards goal šŸ‘‡ w/ @JimmyTYYang1, Jean Ponce, @AdrienBardes, @ylecun

It is my pleasure to work with Raktim! A concrete example of how to use human videos to learn robot policies
Introducing DexWM: Dexterous Manipulation World Model tl;dr: train on human videos; fine-grained actions; hand-consistency loss; DexWM MPC -> zero-shot dexterous manipulation w/ @_amirbar, @DavidJFan, @JimmyTYYang1, @GaoyueZhou, P. Krishnamurthy, M. Rabbat, F. Khorrami, @ylecun

It was so much fun to work on this: llama3 sim2real skills, all are open-sourced!
FAIR researchers (@AIatMeta) presented SegmentAnything and our robotics work at the White House correspondents’ weekend. Llama3 Sim2Real skills (trained with @ai_habitat) = a robot assistant

Please check out our Spot Sim2Real repo! github.com/facebookresearch/… It aims to reproduce the demos of ASC and LSC. We open-source the weights of the navigation, picking, and place skills, and the infrastructure to use Large Language Models (LLMs) to interact with those skills!
Habitat stable version v0.2.5 released! -- šŸ¤– Hardware bridge for BD Spot -- šŸ“· Improved PBR rendering for better synthetic scene visuals -- šŸ¤— ai-habitat on HuggingFace -- šŸ  Habitat Synthetic Scenes Dataset (HSSD) and more... github.com/facebookresearch/… github.com/facebookresearch/…

ā€œWe were very interested in testing out high-level reasoning and planning. We wanted to see...if the robot could figure out the steps it needed to take to solve the problem.ā€ - Discover why @MetaAI chose Spot for their research. bit.ly/44ILlhG
