   OK-Robot: open, modular home robot framework for pick-and-drop anywhere▲542

   Hi all, excited to share our latest work, OK-Robot, which is an open and modular framework to perform navigation and manipulation with a robot assistant in practically any homes without having to teach the robot anything new! You can simply unbox the target robot, install OK-Robot, give it a "scan" (think a 60 second iPhone video), and start asking the robot to move arbitrary things from A to B. We already tested it out in 10 home environments in New York city, and one environment each in Pittsburgh and Fremont. We based everything off of the current best machine learning models, and so…

    The Drive AI▲131

    After months of hard work, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of Chat Channels and Direct Messages on The Drive AI. Why Chat Channels? During my master’s program, managing extensive research, project discussions, and documents across platforms like Google Drive, Zotero, and Slack was a real challenge.
