The shooting of Michael Sungman Cho occurred on December 31, 2007, in the Orange County city of La Habra, California. Cho, a 25-year-old Korean-American artist, was brandishing a tire iron outside a store and was shot by two police officers. The shooting was ruled justified by the Orange County district attorney.
Ep#103: Freeform Preference Learning for Robotic Manipulation
Specifying reward functions for robots is one of the hardest things about reinforcement learning. Robot rewards often need to be very detailed; metrics like progress can be ill-defined and hard to estimate. This leads to most robot learning defaulting to sparse rewards or simple preference learni...
Ep#104: Light-Loco-Parkour: Versatile Perceptive Whole-Body Locomotion via Multi-Skill Distillation
One of the key advantages of legged robots like humanoids should be how effectively they can move across a wide variety of terrain types to accomplish their task. But Light-Loco-Parkour from the team at Light Origins aims to change that: using only onboard sensing, they show a policy which can de...
Ep#105: Beyond Imitation: Self-Improving Robot Policies via Off-Policy Q-Planning
Imitation learning, especially with interventions, has driven so much recent robotics progress. However, improving a policy via targeted interventions until it reaches a useful and deployable success rate is a time and labor intensive process. Instead, wouldn’t it be great if policies could impro...

Ep#110: ENPIRE: Agentic Robot PolicySelf-Improvement in the Real World
In many fields, automated research has become increasingly plausible with the improving capabilities of frontier language models, and the field robotics may be no exception. In ENPIRE, Wenli Xiao, Jia Xie, and Tonghe Zhang build a harness framework that captures physical feedback and allows for a...
Ep#111: SOLE-R1: Video-Language Reasoning as the Sole Reward for On-Robot Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning is often seen as key to achieving scalable, highly reliable real-world robot performance, yet it requires good reward functions that can supervise the wide range of tasks that need to be performed. The obvious thing to try would be a large vision-language model (VLM), but t...

Ep#112: SlipSense and Touch2Trace
Touch is crucial for humans when they want to perform precise tasks to a high degree of reliability, and yet robots almost universally use vision — they’re often completely blind to this whole modality. Two works from Tong Jian, Tao Yu, Saleh Nabi, and Matteo Grimaldi show us how important this s...
