Building the future of mobile manipulation
Clear communication is key for safe, comfortable human-robot interaction. This new work introduces CoRI, a pipeline that turns a robot’s motion plan and visual perception into simple, natural-language explanations of what it’s about to do.

Could robots learn just by watching videos?

Insert VidBot: a new approach that teaches robots how to perform real-world tasks by learning from everyday human videos. No manual training, no specific demos, just smart, scalable learning from the internet.
