    We found that training (multi-agent) policies to win a race with sparse competitive rewards leads to agile policies with strategic behaviors. These policies outperform the ones trained with behavioral-prescribing dense rewards and transfer better to the real world.

    We train a robot 🐕 to traverse complex terrains with a monocular RGB camera from its own real-world experience! To do so we propose Cross-Modal Supervision (CMS), an algorithm to supervise vision using proprioception. Project Page: tinyurl.com/4sr5d6z3 1/5

    Happy to share that my Ph.D. thesis on Agile Vision-Based Flight has been published by @Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics (STAR)! 🌟 I've tried to summarize all the lessons I've learned over 5 years to unlock agile and vision-based flight. 📷 🚁✨

    Only five years ago, @kaufmann_elia and I were proud of having vision-based drone racing at walking speed. After years of hard work (by us and many other people in the community), we achieved super-human performance. Next challenge: generalization Paper: tinyurl.com/mrymfd6v

    They told me to follow in my advisor's footsteps. To be more efficient, I've coded my robot to do it for me 🤖 Starring prof Jitendra Malik. Ph. Credits: @akanazawa

    Very motivated by the Plenary Talk of @ylecun at #ICRA2020! What he identifies as the "next big challenges" of #Robotics is exactly the core of our research at the Robotics and Perception Group in @UZH_en!

    It was great to spend the afternoon in #Stanford at @drmapavone’s lab and give a talk about my recent work on #robot 🤖 learning. Got plenty of new ideas speaking with many interesting and smart people there, looking forward to coming back soon!
