- If you visited the @uwcherryblossom.bsky.social, did you “spot” an unusual visitor among the blooms? Researchers in the @uofwa.bsky.social #UWAllen #robotics group recently took advantage of some nice weather to take our Boston Dynamics robot dog for a stroll around campus. #AI 1/5
- The @uofwa.bsky.social Robot Learning Lab led by professor Byron Boots and Personal Robotics Lab led by professor Sidd Srinivasa are using Spot to develop novel long-range navigation algorithms that consider Spot's local abilities to inform long-term decisions.

- Long Range Navigator (LRN) 🧭— an approach to extend planning horizons for off-road navigation given no prior maps. Using vision LRN makes longer-range decisions by spotting navigation frontiers far beyond the range of metric maps. personalrobotics.github.io/lrn/ 🧵1/6
- Credit goes to @uofwa.bsky.social #UWAllen Ph.D. students @mateoguaman.bsky.social and Matt Schmittle for the fantastic visuals of Spot stepping out (and stepping up). 3/5
- Who’s a good robot?! (Don’t worry, pup—Spot doesn’t bite.) Spot’s trainers and handlers also include @uofwa.bsky.social Ph.D. students @rohanblueboybaijal.bsky.social, Rosario Scalise and Sidharth Talia, undergraduate @sidharth-rajagopal.bsky.social and #UWAllen Robotics Lab Director Emma Romig. 4/5May 2, 2025 23:28
