Robot Learning as an Empirical Science: Best Practices for Policy Evaluation
Hadas Kress-Gazit, Kunimatsu Hashimoto, Naveen Kuppuswamy +5
The robot learning community has made great strides in recent years, proposing new architectures and showcasing impressive new capabilities; however, the dominant metric used in th…
Cloth Funnels: Canonicalized-Alignment for Multi-Purpose Garment Manipulation
Alper Canberk, Cheng Chi, Huy Ha +4
Automating garment manipulation is challenging due to extremely high variability in object configurations. To reduce this intrinsic variation, we introduce the task of "canonicaliz…
DextAIRity: Deformable Manipulation Can be a Breeze
Zhenjia Xu, Cheng Chi, Benjamin Burchfiel +3
This paper introduces DextAIRity, an approach to manipulate deformable objects using active airflow. In contrast to conventional contact-based quasi-static manipulations, DextAIRit…
Iterative Residual Policy: for Goal-Conditioned Dynamic Manipulation of Deformable Objects
Cheng Chi, Benjamin Burchfiel, Eric Cousineau +2
This paper tackles the task of goal-conditioned dynamic manipulation of deformable objects. This task is highly challenging due to its complex dynamics (introduced by object deform…
Grounding Language Attributes to Objects using Bayesian Eigenobjects
Vanya Cohen, Benjamin Burchfiel, Thao Nguyen +3
We develop a system to disambiguate object instances within the same class based on simple physical descriptions. The system takes as input a natural language phrase and a depth im…
