    If you are applying for #gradschool and have last-minute questions about your application, I'm willing to offer office hours on zoom in early November. I do this with students at MIT and I want to make sure others get the same opportunity. write below if interested.

    with SegmentAnything+CLIP, we can build rich metric-semantic 3D maps for robotics. but what is the right granularity for objects & places in the map? is a backpack an object? or is the zipper on the backpack an object? youtu.be/m-HJO10qhSQ [1/n]

    this summer I decided to limit travel/meetings and had more time to think deeply and spend with my family. I also wrote a draft on how to use modern tools from statistics to get performance guarantees for outlier-robust perception in robotics & vision: arxiv.org/pdf/2208.10521…
