Multi-Objective Human-in-the-Loop Bayesian Optimization of a Lower-Limb Exoskeleton

Neil Janwani, Matthew T. Lerner, Aaron J. Young +1

Human-in-the-loop optimization (HILO) is a common approach for optimizing the control of assistive devices to account for the wearer's unique biomechanics and subjective preference…

MOCHA: Multi-Objective Co-Design using Hypernetwork Architectures

Varun Madabushi, Neil Janwani, Maegan Tucker

In this work, we present MOCHA, the first, to our knowledge, reinforcement learning based approach to computing a family of Pareto-optimal policies across the design space of a rob…

Beyond Kinematics: Benchmarking Simulation Fidelity for Muscle-Driven Imitation Learning

Ayah G. Ahmad, Claire E. Borden, Maegan Tucker

In this work, we conduct a systematic comparison of two state-of-the-art motion-imitation reinforcement learning (MIRL) pipelines, one built on SCONE/HyFyDy and one built on MuJoCo…

Comparison of Non-Deterministic Nonlinear Systems

Shivam Bajaj, Varun S. Madabushi, Maegan Tucker +1

We characterize a notion of system comparison, termed as -similarity, for non-deterministic nonlinear systems. Building on a similar notion recently proposed for stable…

Active Query Synthesis for Preference Learning

Namrata Nadagouda, Nauman Ahad, Maegan Tucker +1

Efficient learning of user preferences is crucial for many modern decision making systems but typically requires costly labeled data. Active learning reduces this cost, yet standar…

Differentiable Invariant Sets for Hybrid Limit Cycles with Application to Legged Robots

Varun Madabushi, Akash Harapanahalli, Samuel Coogan +1

For hybrid systems exhibiting periodic behavior, analyzing the invariant set containing the limit cycle is a natural way to study the robustness of the closed-loop system. However,…

Finite-Step Invariant Sets for Hybrid Systems with Probabilistic Guarantees

Varun Madabushi, Elizabeth Dietrich, Hanna Krasowski +1

Poincare return maps are a fundamental tool for analyzing periodic orbits in hybrid dynamical systems, including legged locomotion, power electronics, and other cyber-physical syst…

MO-Playground: Massively Parallelized Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning for Robotics

Neil Janwani, Ellen Novoseller, Vernon J. Lawhern +1

Multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) is a powerful tool to learn Pareto-optimal policy families across conflicting objectives. However, unlike traditional RL algorithms, e…

Kinodynamic Motion Retargeting for Humanoid Locomotion via Multi-Contact Whole-Body Trajectory Optimization

Xiaoyu Zhang, Steven Haener, Varun Madabushi +1

We present the KinoDynamic Motion Retargeting (KDMR) framework, a novel approach for humanoid locomotion that models the retargeting process as a multi-contact, whole-body trajecto…
