Today a delivery arrived that marks an exciting milestone for my lab: our first research grant!

We just released code, models, and data for FrontierNet!
Key idea 💡Instead of detecting froniers in a map, we directly predict them from images. Hence, FrontierNet can implicitly learn visual semantic priors to estimate information gain. That speeds up exploration compared to geometric heuristics.

This is the first time in a while I am creating a new talk. This will be fun!
I'll be up later today at the Visual SLAM workshop at @roboticsscisys.bsky.social

Special thanks to Tjark for creating this beautiful Lost & Found poster that we presented at the #CV4MR workshop.

Finally arriving home today after attending @cvprconference.bsky.social . This was the first #CVPR that I could attend in person! I expected it to be super crowded but was surprised - lots of time and space for chats at the poster session and the 15min talks could really go into detail.

all set for our poster lineup at the cv4mr.github.io #cvpr workshop

If you‘re watching #eurovision tonight, look out for the robots from ETH!
Really cool to see something I could work with during my PhD featured as a swiss highlight 🤖

Turns out aria-glasses are a very useful tool to demonstrate actions to robots: Based on egocentric video we track dynamic changes in a scene graph and use the representation to replay or plan interactions for robots

Are you also a bit exhausted after
#ICRA
submission week? Let us brighten your day with a real "SpotLight" 💡

We detect and generate interaction for almost any light switch and can then map which switch turns on which light
