VinMotion Intelligence Pioneers Seminar #10: Humanoid Robots for General-Purpose Embodied Intelligence: Unlocking Versatile Physical Interaction
As humanoid robots move toward general-purpose embodied intelligence, a key challenge remains: How can we enable them to interact with the physical world and perform a wide range of tasks in complex, human-centered environments?
Join the next VinMotion Intelligence Pioneers Seminar featuring Dr. Carmelo Sferrazza, incoming Assistant Professor of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at ETH Zurich and currently a Member of Technical Staff at Amazon Frontiers AI and Robotics (FAR), where he leads whole-body manipulation research.
In this seminar, Dr. Sferrazza will explore the unique challenges of learning humanoid robots and discuss approaches to scaling their capabilities through novel tools, flexible algorithms, and expressive architectures. His talk will examine how advances in robot learning can help humanoids develop more versatile physical interaction skills and move closer to general-purpose embodied intelligence.
Key topics:
- Challenges in robot learning for humanoid systems
- Scaling learning toward general-purpose humanoid capabilities
- Novel tools and flexible algorithms for humanoid learning
- Expressive architectures for versatile physical interaction
- Advancing whole-body manipulation and embodied intelligence
This seminar is intended for researchers, engineers, students, and anyone interested in AI, Robotics, and autonomous systems.
Time & Date: 9:00 – 10:30 AM ICT (UTC +7) | Friday, October 30th, 2026
