- 📍 Venue: Cambridge University Engineering Department, CBL Seminar room BE4-38.
Abstract
The advent of foundation models—large, pre-trained models like GPT and CLIP —has revolutionised artificial intelligence, enabling impressive generalisation and adaptability across diverse domains. In this presentation, we explore how these models are beginning to reshape robotics by serving as versatile building blocks for perception, reasoning, and action. The talk will cover seminal papers in Vision-Language-Action models and World modelling. The talk will require audience have a general working understanding of foundation models.
Series This talk is part of the Machine Learning Reading Group @ CUED series.
