Excited to share our new work, SonoWorld, led by @DerongJin and Xiyi Chen!

Silent worlds are incomplete. We turn a single image into an explorable 3D audio-visual scene, enriching visual worlds with immersive spatial sound.

The framework is modular and training-free and can be built entirely with open-source models while also supporting proprietary models such as Marble for enhanced visual fidelity.

Kudos to the team for making this happen. Thanks as well to @theworldlabs and to @drfeifei for the early feedback and encouragement.

Generated 3D worlds look amazing — but they’re silent.

Excited to share SonoWorld at #CVPR2026: from one image, we generate an explorable 3D world you can walk through and hear with grounded spatial audio.

Excited that Derong will give an oral presentation of our #ICCV2025 paper in Oral Session 1A on Tuesday morning. We introduce an audio-visual differentiable room acoustic rendering pipeline that is efficient, accurate, and interpretable. Come chat with us at the poster session!

If a surface looks soft or shiny, should it sound that way too?

Excited that Kelin will present our #ICCV2025 paper GenFlowRL, where we generate object-centric flow from cross-embodiment videos to learn generalizable robot policies. Come chat with us at the Wed morning poster session (#299)!

How can we utilize cross-embodiment action-free videos in learning generalizable and robust policies?

Introducing our paper in ICCV 2025 @ICCVConference (also best paper nomination at the ICRA FMNS WS), GenFlowRL: an reward shaping method with generative object-centric flow. 1/6

Exciting opportunity for vision/robotics students at UMD!🚀

Everyone says they want general-purpose robots.

We actually mean it — and we’ll make it weird, creative, and fun along the way 😎

Recruiting PhD students to work on Computer Vision and Robotics @umdcs for Fall 2026 in the beautiful city of Washington DC!

Life update ✨
I’ll be joining @umdcs as faculty starting Spring 2026!
I’m looking for motivated students (undergrad, MS, PhD) and postdocs interested in robotic manipulation, tactile sensing, and learning-driven hardware design.

Excited to build my group at UMD—let’s connect!
