The CSAIL Forum is a monthly series hosted by Professor Daniela Rus, Director of CSAIL. This month features Professor Vincent Sitzmann.

LLMs have ushered in a new era of how humans interact with computers: They can code, write, and automate many of our everyday tasks. Yet, in our physical world, AI has so far *not* delivered autonomy: There does not exist a robot today that can do your cleaning, load your dishwasher, or help the elderly get out of bed: in fact, it remains impossible to automate any but the most restricted and controlled tasks. In this talk, Sitzmann will discuss how the billions of hours of video that mankind has collected are a candidate for ushering in an "LLM moment" of AI that can interact with the physical world, and show recent results from my research group that work towards this goal.
