Our work "Embodied AI" (https://embodied-ai.tech/) was on display at the art festival Ars Electronica during the last days (alongside some more pieces by UChicago faculty and students, including Cameron Mankin, Ken Nakagaki and Jason Salavon)!

Super exciting to see this take form as a video installation, including new videos and demos by Yun Ho and Romain Nith that were not on the original paper!

p.s.: Huge thanks to Cameron & Miles for their on-site work! by @plopesresearch

Having fun with class assignments, this one uses an FPGA to generate video via a VGA cable that is plugged directly from the FPGA to the screen! It implements almost a mini game of pong only on the synthesized hardware! @uchicagocsil @uchicagopsd @uchicago_compsci @dsi_uchicago @uchicagopme @uchicagocollege by @plopesresearch

We did it! Students final boards from https://hcipcb.plopes.org class are on their way to @JLCPCB . As soon as they arrive it's solder and debug time for them: good luck and enjoy your 1st electronics adventure with a cortex MCU!

Our new paper (best paper award) at CHI, uses a multimodal AI system to physically assist people with tasks involving movements (think of this for skill learning, accessibility and more). Work by @romain_nith @yunho.yh at @uchicago_compsci #aimodel #haptics #CHI2026 #robotics by @plopesresearch
