Imagine trying to locate the "heavy, plastic block" on the table. Yeah, pure vision isn't going to help you there. Loving this paper at #IROS2023 where a robot uses an object's weight and sound to perform identification! Also #ICCV2023, we should co-locate

Nuclear Family Infrastructure and Urban Planning for Social Stability

Thanks for the analysis! Makes sense that the North American nuclear family culture, focus on individualism and privacy, solidified by infrastructure, e.g. independent housing rather than tightknit communities, makes for an unstable foundation. Urban planning could help, perhaps?
