Robotics & World Models Reading Club · San Francisco周六机器人与世界模型读书会 · 旧金山
A weekly, in-person research community in the San Francisco Bay Area for people building robot foundation models, world models and embodied AI. Each session pairs a talk from a researcher with active work with an open-floor roundtable on new papers.
每周在旧金山湾区线下举行的研究社区，面向正在构建机器人基础模型、世界模型与具身智能的研究者和创业者。每期由一位正在做一线研究的讲者开场，随后围绕最新论文展开开放式圆桌讨论。

How it works活动形式
Everything we discuss is open research: published papers, open-source code and conference talks. What the room adds is the argument.我们讨论的都是公开研究：已发表的论文、开源代码和会议报告。这间屋子贡献的，是围绕它们的争论。
Each session opens with a talk from someone building the thing: lab researchers, startup teams and PhD students.
每期由正在做这件事的人开场：实验室研究员、创业团队和博士生。
An open-floor discussion of frontier papers, in front of the people whose work they build on.
开放式讨论前沿论文，而在场的往往就是这些论文所依托工作的作者。
We select for people with active work who will push back when a claim is weak, not for seniority.
我们看重的不是资历，而是手上有一线工作、在论点站不住时会提出质疑的人。
“Conferences run twice a year. The field moves every week. That gap is the whole reason we exist.”
