This is one of my favorite works in my series on antenna impedance characteristic sensing. This time, we use a commercially available device. Without any hardware modification, just with a software update. Then, your phone can sense your hand grip, worn placement, resting surfaces, and plug-and-play passive devices.

It can also make the $10 Amazon Nerf gun into an AR game accessory.

We gave Claude and GPT a phone video of a robot wiping. In an hour, each built a full-dynamics digital twin. Introducing RoboSimStudio 🤖: an open and interactive toolkit for Agentic Robotics, enabling Fable, Astra and Argon AI agents to model sponges 🧽, cables 🧵 and cloth 👔.

Graph-as-Policy (GaP) creates computation graphs (like ROS) for more modular and interpretable robot execution, yet generalizable to various tasks. This is my first collaboration at UC Berkeley AUTOLAB as a visiting researcher. Shout out to lead authors Eric and Shuangyu, and I am glad I could contribute to this!

Graph-as-Policy (GaP) is a new variant of Agentic Robotics from @NVIDIA and @UCBerkeley that builds computation graphs (like ROS) to ensure modularity, manage complexity, and facilitate interpretability. 🧵Open code and paper: graph-robots.github.io/gap/ #Robotics #Automation #AgenticAI #EmbodiedAI

Check out @SCSatCMU’s wonderful feature on our recent project, SoundBubble!

SoundBubble helps isolate and amplify the sounds of fingers as they tap, trace or rap various surfaces, or use different tools. That information could give computers important hints about what users are doing and how the computer might help them. cs.cmu.edu/news/2026/listeni…

Last but not least, I’ll be chairing the “Inferring Human State” session at #CHI2026. There are many exciting projects from amazing authors on sensing-based human pose estimation and psychological state inference. Join us in Room 127 at 9:00 AM.
