ABSTRACT What kind of representation do robots need in order to be as generally capable as humans in handling unseen scenarios? Recent work in vision and vision-language foundation models has become quite good at telling what is in a scene, but they do […]

This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Nature routinely makes smart, complex, yet microscopically tiny machines. But how can humans do it? And can we do it in a way that is easy to design and understand? This talk is about building microscopic robots, those […]

ABSTRACT In this talk, I will discuss about building computer vision system that understands everyday human interactions with rich spatial information, in particular hand-object interactions (HOI). Such systems can benefit VR/AR to perceive reality and […]

This is a virtual event with virtual attendance on Zoom.  ABSTRACT Foundation models that connect vision and language have recently shown great promise for a wide array of tasks such as text-to-image generation. Significant attention has been devoted towards utilizing the visual representations learned from these powerful vision and language models. In this talk, I […]
