We just released code, models, and data for FrontierNet!
Key idea 💡Instead of detecting froniers in a map, we directly predict them from images. Hence, FrontierNet can implicitly learn visual semantic priors to estimate information gain. That speeds up exploration compared to geometric heuristics.

Honestly ICCV2025 was the first time for me that I had great papers on my review pile that matched my interests & expertise. WAY better matching in my case than for the last 2 CVPRs.

ofc my standards are low coming from robotics where matching is based on keywords like „vision for robotics“ 🙈

This is the first time in a while I am creating a new talk. This will be fun!
I'll be up later today at the Visual SLAM workshop at @roboticsscisys.bsky.social‬

Finally arriving home today after attending @cvprconference.bsky.social . This was the first #CVPR that I could attend in person! I expected it to be super crowded but was surprised - lots of time and space for chats at the poster session and the 15min talks could really go into detail.

Excited to present our #CVPR2025 paper DepthSplat next week!
DepthSplat is a feed-forward model that achieves high-quality Gaussian reconstruction and view synthesis in just 0.6 seconds.
Looking forward to great conversations at the conference!

We are organizing the 1st Workshop on Cross-Device Visual Localization at #ICCV #ICCV2025
Localizing multiple phones, headsets, and robots to a common reference frame is so far a real problem in mixed-reality applications. Our new challenge will track progress on this issue.
⏰ paper deadline: June 6

🏠 Introducing DepthSplat: a framework that connects Gaussian splatting with single- and multi-view depth estimation. This enables robust depth modeling and high-quality view synthesis with state-of-the-art results on ScanNet, RealEstate10K, and DL3DV.

We are thinking about a bit similar setup and it seems you can record RGB-D really quite easily record3d.app What is the advantage of final cut pro?

RA-L is a great model IMO: submit anytime, rapid-publishing (max 6 months including 1 month for revision), journal-style review process yields much better papers, accepted papers are automatically presented at the next ICRA/IROS.

Open source code now available MASt3R-SLAM: the best dense visual SLAM system I've ever seen. Real-time and monocular, and easy to run with a live camera or on videos without needing to know the camera calibration. Brilliant work from Eric and Riku.

I don‘t doubt humanoids will get to where quadrupeds are right now, but my impression is that there is a gap of some years.
