How can a robot provide details of plant anatomy for plant phenotyping? Today @IROS2025 , we present Botany-Bot from @berkeley_ai @Siemens. Botany-Bot 1) creates segmented 3D models of plants using Gaussian splats and GarField 2) uses a robot arm to expose hidden details. (1/9)

Latest results of model performance on our RoboVista Benchmark for diverse robot applications!
Gemini-4 Argon shows a large improvement in robotics understanding on RoboVista. It reaches 81.9%, beats GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1 in our evaluation with lowest eval cost. Compared with Gemini 3 Flash, it improves across every robotics domain. Example VQA👇

Starting a side project to learn more about robotics and plants. Turned real plant scans from Botany-Bot (@funmilore @Ken_Goldberg) into digital twins that a reBot Arm from @seeedstudio can touch. Currently brainstorming what to work on at the intersection. Ideas welcome!

Work led by @justkerrding and @KushtimusPrime on active gaze using an ego camera without wrist cameras. I like that they include an evals page that contains videos of the trials for the various tasks.
Almost all bimanual robots include wrist cameras. They add bulk, cost, and complexity, but are critical for performance. Are they really needed? Excited to finally share EyeRobot 2.0, where we use active gaze from an ego stereo camera instead 🧵 (with @kushtimusprime)

Congratulations @jenngrannen!
Overdue life update: I finished my PhD from @StanfordAILab in June! 🎓 So grateful to @DorsaSadigh and everyone who made the journey so fun and special. I'm since joined @WaldenRobotics -- excited to share more about what I've been up to soon 👀

If you’re at IROS2026 @Cinnabar233 is giving a talk about ABC at the open robotics software tomorrow 10/1 at 9:35am, room 302!! sites.google.com/rice.edu/ir…
ABC full release! Full stack of goodies in here. Everything you need to get started. Here's a challenge: Can you get the robot to fold a paper airplane? Excited to see what cool things you come up with!

Great news @rajiinio!
Some news: I graduated my PhD @Berkeley_EECS, and starting Fall 2027, I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor at Stanford CS & a center fellow @StanfordHAI! In the interim, I'm spending a year @the_IAS & Princeton! So grateful to @beenwrekt & too many mentors to name 💓

Can robots help in data centers? It’s tricky when all the cables are the same color. Introducing TRACE: bi-directional tracing + interactive perception for monochrome cables, @ #IROS2026 from @AUTOLab_Cal @UCBerkeley (1/8)
