PneuTac: Tactile Manipulation with Soft Pneumatic Robots via Unified MPM-Gaussian Splatting Simulation
Shaohong Zhong, Marco Pontin, Joe Watson +2
Soft robots and tactile sensors have demonstrated great potential in delicate manipulation tasks. Soft pneumatic robots enable safe contact through compliance, and vision-based tac…
Benchmarking World Models for Continual Learning on Compositional Tasks
Haoyu Zhou, Joe Watson, Anson Lei +1
A desirable property of a world model is the ability to learn continually across tasks, adapting to new environments without forgetting what the agent has already learnt. In partic…
Imitation from Heterogeneous Demonstrations using Grounded Latent-Action World Models
Tianyou Wang, Anson Lei, Joe Watson +1
Imitation learning has emerged as a powerful paradigm for learning visuomotor policies, but its generalisation and stability are limited by the scale and quality of demonstration d…
Coherent Off-Policy Improvement of Large Behavior Models with Learned Rewards
Christian Scherer, Joe Watson, Theo Gruner +3
Distilling expert demonstration data into large generative models using behavioral cloning is a scalable approach to learning capable policies for robotic control, particularly for…
XQCfD: Accelerating Fast Actor-Critic Algorithms with Prior Data and Prior Policies
Daniel Palenicek, Florian Vogt, Joe Watson +3
For reinforcement learning in the real world online exploration is expensive A common practice in robotic reinforcement learning is to incorporate additional data to improve sample…
Disentangling Dynamical Systems: Causal Representation Learning Meets Local Sparse Attention
Markus W. Baumgartner, Anson Lei, Joe Watson +1
Parametric system identification methods estimate the parameters of explicitly defined physical systems from data. Yet, they remain constrained by the need to provide an explicit f…
Posterior Sampling Reinforcement Learning with Gaussian Processes for Continuous Control: Sublinear Regret Bounds for Unbounded State Spaces
Hamish Flynn, Joe Watson, Ingmar Posner +1
We analyze the Bayesian regret of the Gaussian process posterior sampling reinforcement learning (GP-PSRL) algorithm. Posterior sampling is a heuristic for decision-making under un…
