Video Editing Refresh

Since ICRA recommends submitting papers with an accompanying video, I needed to brush up on my video editing skills. It has been a long time since I last published a video on my YouTube channel, Hex.16.

After almost 2 years away from it, I am really impressed by how fast frontier LLMs have advanced. Two years ago, I still had to hand-craft my illustration sequences using manim. But today, AI agents can accelerate my old pipeline incredibly fast. Maybe it’s time for me to pick up this hobby again.

DROID Technical Blog

I planned to write a technical blog about the DROID dataset following up on HKUST PhD Chronicle, Week 53, Aligning with DROID, but I haven’t finished it yet… I have to admit, the topic is quite massive, and I need to carefully distill the most precious insights from it. I hope to get it out soon!

Family

I took 2 days off to spend time with my family for the Moon Festival. Even though I was born in a coastal city, this was the very first time we celebrated the festival right on the beach.
