For your Embodied AI task you want a recurrent model with constant complexity per step, but you don't want to lose the power of transformers (which store the full obs history and attend to it)? Do not despair, we have your back. We distill transformers into recurrent transformers 1/8

Good morning Nashville ! Few pics from an (really) early jet-lagged run

Incorporating physics into embodied AI has massive impact on out-of-the-box robot navigation! @steevenj7.bsky.social & @chriswolfvision.bsky.social share what was learned in moving from simulation to the real world with #spatialAI ➡️ tinyurl.com/k83svt8a

We have a new blog post on how we optimized end-to-end training of navigation in simulation with physical models, allowing fast and precise motion. The post is simplified, animated, and should be very accessible. Great work by the Spatial AI team, writing by Steeven, myself and the NLE Coms team.

🔊 Only a few days left to apply to the #PAISS2025 summer school !! This is a fantastic opportunity to learn and to network, especially for students 🎓

Watch till the end 😀
