🏓🤖 Our humanoid robot can now rally over 100 consecutive shots against a human in real table tennis — fully autonomous, sub-second reaction, human-like strikes. https://x.com/ZhiSu22/status/1961244573658673222
HITTER https://humanoid-table-tennis.github.io/
Humanoid robots playing table tennis fully autonomously. The ‘HITTER’ system combines a model-based planner with a reinforcement learning (RL) whole-body controller. It is fully autonomous but relies on an external sensing system. A 9-camera OptiTrack motion capture setup https://x.com/TheHumanoidHub/status/1961338417628979237

If you think Apple is not doing much in AI, you’re getting blindsided by the chatbot hype and not paying enough attention! They just released FastVLM and MobileCLIP2 on Huggingface. The models are up to 85x faster and 3.4x smaller than previous work, enabling real-time vision language model (VLM) applications! It can even do live video captioning 100% locally in your browser 🤯🤯🤯 https://x.com/ClementDelangue/status/1962526559115358645

People ask how I get such clean 3D scans with a DSLR — and I must admit it’s a bit of a dark art. But this new $5K PortalCam changes everything. LiDAR precision + SLAM speed + 3D Gaussian Splat fidelity in a device anyone can use. The use cases are wild. Let me show you 🧵 https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1963337887027707987

The utter disrespect for CGI & VFX continues to baffle me. Do these Hollywood heavyweights make these remarks because it’s an easy PR win? Or do they genuinely think modern cinema and TV would be anywhere close to where it is without CGI assisted storytelling?”” / X https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1962583444158062641
