28. Robotic Manipulation: The Final Frontier

Matei Ciocarlie (Columbia University)

9/12/25, 3:20 PM

Like dominos, some of the greatest technical challenges of robotics have fallen one by one: physical safety (2000-2010), computer vision (2010-2015), legged locomotion (2015-2020), and even high-level, semantic intelligence and language processing (2020-2025), have all made leaps previously thought impossible. What’s standing between us and the general purpose robot of the future, deployed in...

25. Multimodal Video Models for Robot Learning

Michael Ryoo (Stony Brook University)

9/12/25, 3:40 PM

In this talk, we discuss multimodal video models and their importance in robot learning. We first cover multimodal video-language models to capture semantic and motion information over videos. We then talk about how such video models could benefit vision-language-action (VLA) models for robot visuo-motor action policy. VLA models including LLaRA and LangToMo as well as applications of...

29. Sharpening the Future of Supply Chain: Harnessing the Power of Robotics and Agentic AI (Remote)

Tarik Hammadou (NVIDIA)

9/12/25, 4:00 PM

Physical AI is revolutionizing the supply chain by integrating robotics, agentic AI, and advanced simulations to create smarter, more efficient systems. NVIDIA is at the forefront of this transformation, using its AI-driven platforms to enable intelligent automation in warehouses, distribution centers, and logistics operations. Through innovations in robotic systems and agentic AI, powered by...
