Amazing news, I will start the new year by joining Generative Bionics as Chief AI Officer.
After closing the round, now we can start to build autonomy for our humanoid robot.
Thanks to our investors and my co-founders for the incredible support during this year!
Generative Bionics announces a €70M #funding round.
Our mission is amplifying human potential by developing intelligent robot companions based on Physical AI.

🎓 DCitizens was in Genova last week for a 2-day training at IIT’s Center for Human Technologies!
We explored research funding, ethics & Horizon Europe, and deepened collaboration between teams from @iti_larsys, @istecnico & @IITalk.
💡Real impact starts with strong foundations.

🏆𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 Alessio Del Bue is the director of the PAVIS (Pattern Analysis and computer VISion) research unit of the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genova, Italy. Previously, he was a researcher in the Institute for Systems and Robotics at the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon, Portugal. Before that, he obtained my Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Lourdes Agapito in the Department of Computer Science at Queen Mary University of London. His current research interests are related to 3D scene understanding from multi-modal input (images, depth, audio) to support the development of assistive Artificial Intelligence systems. He is co-author of more than 150 scientific publications, in refereed journals and international conferences, member of the technical committees of important computer vision conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, etc.), and he serves as an associate editor of Transaction of Image Processing (TIP) journal. Finally, Dr. Del Bue is an IEEE and ELLIS member in the recently formed Genoa unit.

This talk explores our journey from Spatial AI, focused on environmental perception, to Embodied AI, where systems interact and learn from their surroundings. Leveraging advanced visual scene representation techniques like NeRF and 3DGS, we can create realistic, semantically rich models to train autonomy tasks such as navigation and object detection. Finally, we demonstrate how visual and multi-modal data enable Embodied AI models to power humanoid robotic platforms at IIT.

BillBoard Splatting (BBSplat): Learnable Textured Primitives for Novel View Synthesis
Contributions:
• We propose BBSplat with optimizable textured primitives to learn 3D scene representation with photometric losses. BBSplat allows up to ×2 acceleration for NVS compared to the state-of-the-art for the same rendering quality.
• We developed an algorithm to efficiently represent and store textures for billboards. BBSplat demonstrates significant storage cost reduction. As a result, for some scenarios, storing the scene represented with billboards is more efficient than 3DGS or 2DGS.
• We implemented BBSplat with CUDA and demonstrated its efficiency in extensive experiments on several real-scene open datasets.
