Autonomously Untangling Long Cables

Vainavi Viswanath, Kaushik Shivakumar, Justin Kerr +7

Cables are ubiquitous in many settings and it is often useful to untangle them. However, cables are prone to self-occlusions and knots, making them difficult to perceive and manipu…

GraphAllocBench: A Flexible Benchmark for Preference-Conditioned Multi-Objective Policy Learning

Zhiheng Jiang, Yunzhe Wang, Ryan Marr +3

Preference-Conditioned Policy Learning (PCPL) in Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning (MORL) approximates diverse Pareto-optimal solutions by conditioning a single policy on user…
