Robot planning heads to closed-loop settings with neural rendering for realistic environments
abursuc · x · 2026-09-18
A #ssad2026 lecture thread traces how ever-better perception-oriented datasets dramatically improved robot perception, and notes that planning has seen lots of progress but remains mostly open-loop. The next step, the speaker argues, is closed-loop settings—using neural rendering strategies to produce realistic environments for planning.
