PAINT: Partner-Agnostic Intent-Aware Cooperative Transport with Legged Robots
Zhihao Cao, Tianxu An, Chenhao Li +2
Collaborative transport requires robots to infer partner intent through physical interaction while maintaining stable loco-manipulation. This becomes particularly challenging in co…
What Matters for Simulation to Online Reinforcement Learning on Real Robots
Yarden As, Dhruva Tirumala, René Zurbrügg +4
We investigate what specific design choices enable successful online reinforcement learning (RL) on physical robots. Across 100 real-world training runs on three distinct robotic p…
TARC: Time-Adaptive Robotic Control
Arnav Sukhija, Lenart Treven, Jin Cheng +3
Most robotic systems rely on fixed-frequency discrete-time controllers, creating a trade-off between the efficiency of low-frequency control and the responsiveness of high-frequenc…
SPiDR: A Simple Approach for Zero-Shot Safety in Sim-to-Real Transfer
Yarden As, Chengrui Qu, Benjamin Unger +6
Deploying reinforcement learning (RL) safely in the real world is challenging, as policies trained in simulators must face the inevitable sim-to-real gap. Robust safe RL techniques…
Collaborative Loco-Manipulation for Pick-and-Place Tasks with Dynamic Reward Curriculum
Tianxu An, Flavio De Vincenti, Yuntao Ma +2
We present a hierarchical RL pipeline for training one-armed legged robots to perform pick-and-place (P&P) tasks end-to-end -- from approaching the payload to releasing it at a tar…
Learning to Walk in Costume: Adversarial Motion Priors for Aesthetically Constrained Humanoids
Arturo Flores Alvarez, Fatemeh Zargarbashi, Havel Liu +7
We present a Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based locomotion system for Cosmo, a custom-built humanoid robot designed for entertainment applications. Unlike traditional humanoids, ent…
