Deep Dive
arXivLabs is a framework that lets collaborators develop and share new arXiv features directly on the site. Both the individuals and organizations that work with arXivLabs have embraced and accepted arXiv's values of openness, community, excellence, and user data privacy — and arXiv is committed to those values, only working with partners who adhere to them. If you have an idea for a project that will add value for arXiv's community, you can learn more about arXivLabs.
Key Points
- Robot dogs can now navigate city streets on their own using a new AI system.
