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.

- I just got tenure from #MIT! I feel fortunate & proud of the work done with many talented and awesome students, postdocs, and collaborators at the #MITSparkLab. I'm also grateful to my wife, family, friends, & mentors for their support. now I look forward to building what's next!
- I've been promoted to Associate Professor at @MIT ! I learned so much during the last few years & look forward to keep pushing the state of the art with the awesome people in the #mitsparklab and our great collaborators!! a big THANK YOU to our collaborators/friends/supporters!
- excited to release the course material (slides, lecture notes, coding+theory exercises, Unity-based simulator, ...) for the graduate course MIT 16.485 "Visual Navigation for Autonomous Vehicles" (VNAV), with topics spanning geometric vision, VIO, SLAM, 3D reconstruction, ...
- Hydra is now open source: Code: github.com/MIT-SPARK/Hydra Video: youtu.be/qZg2lSeTuvM Paper: roboticsproceedings.org/rss18/p050.pdf #hydra is a real-time system to build 3D scene graphs from sensor data. It will be presented this week at #RSS2022 #mitsparklab #robotPerception #mapping

- we just won an #Amazon Research Award for our work on real-time spatial perception systems and 3D scene graphs! The award will accelerate progress towards human-like perception for #robotics. check our recent work: youtu.be/qZg2lSeTuvM, arxiv.org/abs/2201.13360 #mitSparkLab
- #Khronos won the Outstanding Systems Paper Award at #RSS2024 !! very proud of Lukas, Marcus, and Yun! Khronos' code and paper are online: Video: youtu.be/YsH6YIL5_kc?si… Code: github.com/MIT-SPARK/Khro… Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2402.13817 #mitSparkLab #4DSceneUnderstanding
- I'm ecstatic to announce that I'm one of the recipients of the RSS Early Career Award! Big congrats also to @leto__jean and Byron Boots! #mitSparkLab #robotics #robotPerception #RSS2020 #awards roboticsconference.org/program/career…
- 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…
