Hereby committing to an advent of robotics papers! In the next few days leading to Christmas, I will share the 10 papers that convinced me to do a robotics PhD 3 years ago.

Back in 2017, I was a masters student in MechE who was JUST starting robotics research. So these are not what I consider today to be the 10 *best* robotics papers. But all of them inspired me, excited me, challenged me. And made me want to dive into a PhD.

[Paper #1] Operational Space Formulation by Oussama Khatib https://cs.stanford.edu/groups/manips/publications/pdfs/Khatib_1987_RA.pdf … There is no doubt that Opspace control made me fall in love with manipulation. I took all the robotics manipulation classes during my masters with Oussama, and he inspired me to try research 1/n

But why do I love OpSpace control so much? Because it is so mathematically beautiful. We go from end-effector motion control and map that back into robot joint torque control. The inverse Jacobian to map from ee space to joint space is dynamically consistent -- which means 2/n

Heh I remember reading Khatib’s paper way back in the day. Takes me back.

@vgr -- also in case you weren't aware, this advent calendar idea was 100% inspired by threadapalooza (aka what made me fall in love with Twitter)
Since I'm doing multiple tweets per paper, I might actually end up with a 100 tweet thread by the end of it

Nice! If you’re taking suggestions I’d like to hear your take on one of my favorite classics https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4567972 … I’m getting back into this stuff after 14 years... planning to model/build/program a little toy Mars rover next year. Very rusty, but we’ll see how far I get.
