Robotics community racing overnight to adopt new whole-body policy validation paper
carlosdponx · x · 2026-10-22
Carlos reports robotics motion group chats are racing to implement the learnings from a new paper, with teams immediately adding validation runs to whole-body policy projects after reading it—a pace he expects to massively accelerate R&D for whole-body policies. Author Chen Tessler uses the uptake to argue the conference system is broken: waiting months for three random reviewers vs. letting the community judge, with community validation being 100x more impactful.
