Waymo researcher presents self-supervised bootstrapping for embodied reasoning across manipulation, locomotion, and driving

Milan demonstrates RNB encore, a variational inference framework that discovers embodiment-specific reasoning (move+gripper for manipulation, structural affordances for locomotion, meta-action for driving) and prunes distracting perceptual reasoning, improving success rates and safety metrics.
