I suppose this move! If you don't want to support DEI initiatives that's your right, but I'm glad PSF is sticking to their values.

Thought provoking question for everyone at ICRA: Do we need to achieve dexterity anthropomorphic hands before we can achieve dexterity with other grippers? By dexterity I mean ~adult human level. Any by other grippers I mean parallel jaw, suction, etc. more in thread!

I tried using pymupdf but I can't figure out even simple things like "get me the text by section"... ChatGPT assistants seem are my best attempt but they are $$$ and slow

You MUST read "So you think you can scale up autonomous robot data collection?" arxiv.org/abs/2411.01813 A hype-free and practical study of some real and often overlooked challenges! Thanks @suvir_m, @DorsaSadigh et al.
