*Who:      *Ruoshi Liu, Columbia University

*Title:*       Towards Intelligent Robots Beyond Human Capability

*Abstract: *Humans are much smarter than robots today, with the ability to
adapt quickly to a new environment and learn a new skill from a few
examples, among other amazing things. However, human intelligence also
comes with many limitations. Human perception is limited by the physical
constraints of our sensors. Human’s prior knowledge is limited by the
amount of data we are exposed to in our lifetime. Humans are limited by our
physical capabilities, such as muscle strength and reaction time. In this
talk, we will explore key directions where intelligent systems can achieve
superhuman performance and reflect on the lessons learned from these
pursuits.

*Bio:  *Ruoshi Liu is a PhD student at Columbia University, advised by Carl
Vondrick and working closely with Shuran Song and Shree Nayar. His research
lies at the intersection of computer vision, robotics, and computer
graphics. He has published papers at top conferences, including CVPR, ICCV,
ECCV, CoRL, NeurIPS, ICLR, etc. His research received new coverage from New
Scientists, Hacker News (#1 trending), etc.. Technology derived from his
original work has led to multiple startups in the field of 3D generation,
and the open-source models and datasets he developed have been downloaded
and used more than a million times by other researchers and engineers in
the field.
