Summary
The meeting discussed the progress and details of various work streams during the Lunar New Year. The main contents included:
Physical AI Workstream: Presented the concept and scope of physical AI, related to robotics and machine environment, and discussed its integration with other workstreams.
Stanford Paper and Similarity: Compared a shared paper with the physical AI workstream, noting similarities and discussions on its relevance.
Robotics and Subsets: Considered the relationship between robotics and the physical AI workstream, discussing whether to replace or keep specific workstreams and potential subsets.
Edge Data Agent (EDA): Introduced the EDA workstream focused on edge data analytics, including code generation and local data processing.
Security Requirements for Release 1: Discussed the security requirements for the first release, considering their application and potential updates based on open SSF.
Chapters
00:04 Lunar New Year Greetings and Meeting Agenda Discussion
This section begins with Tina Tsou wishing everyone a happy Lunar New Year. Xu Yong asks Tina to share his screen. Ning Bao mentions feeling about 70% better after being sick. Then Tina suggests Tom share the agenda screen. Tom presents the week's agenda including an Asian item. Tina also refers to materials Xu Yong sent from the last meeting. After checking the agenda, HaruhisaFukano volunteers to share his screen.
03:19 Introduction to the Need and Working Scope of Physical AI
This section starts with Haruhisa Fukano asking if Tina Tsou can see his screen and then he pastes today's material on a wiki page. He explains the need for physical AI, contrasting current robotics in constant environments with future ones in changing ones. He defines physical AI as an AI system understanding physical laws. He also shows the scope of activities in the physical AI work stream, including real space, sensor networks, and virtual spaces for simulation and training.
09:04 Proposal for Physical AI Work Stream and Related Discussion
This section Haruhisa Fukano proposed to use generative AI to generate robotics - related patterns for training an AI model based on the March model. He also mentioned considerations like accelerating inference speed, making the model smaller, and deciding where to perform inference according to robot requirements. He put forward objectives for the physical AI work stream. Then, an unknown speaker shared a paper in the chat, stating it was related to physical AI, asking others to check the PDF file for a clearer description.
15:23 Discussion on Physical AI, Related Paper and Workstream Proposal
This section focuses on the discussion around a survey result and a paper related to media physical AI. The speakers note the similarity between what's described in the physical Ace AI slides and the research in the paper. They discuss how to access the paper and clarify that the concepts are the same. Then, Haruhisa Fukano asks for questions and comments on the physical AI work stream proposal. Tina Tsou inquires whether it will replace a certain workstream, and it's clarified that the Robotics Blueprint is a subset of this work stream.
20:05 Discussion on Workstream 6 Update, Data Usage and Robot Sizes
This section discusses workstream 6. It's proposed to change it to physical AI with robotics and AI agents as subsets. The question of data source for physical AI is raised, and it's decided any model combination can be used. Then, Yong Shi mentions they have many sensors in their robot. The idea of using small robots to control big ones like a brain is discussed, and there's some language difficulty in precisely conveying this concept.
25:42 Discussion on Physical AI, Work Streams and Project Plans
This section covers various topics. There's discussion on robotic imitation learning and related projects. Tina Tsou suggests Xu Yong take time to digest ideas with Victor and schedules time for him to contribute to fiscal AI next week. A demo on motion, Edge Lake and federated machine learning is announced. Wilson Wang updates on work stream 3, including new team members and planned rack support. Tina Tsou reminds of release wonder one reviews. Finally, TangQi shares he created the GIP hub ripple.
35:33 Presentation on Edge Data Agent (EDA) Project Progress and Plans
This section Tina Tsou encouraged presenters to share their screens. TangQi shared his screen to introduce Edge Data Agent (EDA). It's for edge data analytics, with data stored locally, code generated on demand using LLMs. He mentioned progress in code generation capabilities. He's writing a slide deck and has initial thoughts on ETA command line 2 usage. They discussed the name, release version, and Tina Tsou noted he has 3.5 weeks and was glad to see progress during the Lunar New Year.
41:36 Project Discussion and Updates Among Team Members
This section covers various topics. Tina Tsou thanks Tom for his contribution and invites Qi to contribute to the collab this Friday night. She congratulates Qi on becoming a father. VJ returns, shares plans to focus on certain projects and suggests connecting on LinkedIn. Wang Xu joins. They discuss security requirements for release 1, with some suggesting using existing ones but also emphasizing the need for review. Tina Tsou offers to share the release window.
50:37 Discussion on Security Requirements and Meeting Schedule
This section mainly discusses security requirements. Tina Tsou mentions race and security issues. They talk about simplifying and updating security requirements, with reference to open SSF. Tina Tsou encourages two people to work with Daniel to decide whether to use the current or updated security requirements and report back in one or two weeks. Additionally, Tina Tsou reminds leaders of upcoming meeting schedules and release plans in February.
