Looped reasoning models repeatedly apply a shared set of parameters, enabling more computation without increasing the model size. These models also support input-dependent computation by dynamically deciding when to stop looping. Motivated by the recent success of looped transformers in language modeling and reasoning, …
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are a promising alternative to divers for scalable collection of natural ocean ecology data. However, these robots may disturb local fauna and cause drastic behavioral differences compared to other monitoring techniques, decreasing their value as scientific tools. A promising prosp …
Mechanical intelligence, loosely defined as the reduction in control burden afforded by a robot's physical form, has become a prominent concept in robotics, with instantiations in bioinspired robotics, soft robotics, robotic swarms, and many other areas. However, rigorous theoretical understanding and quantitative meas …
