Looped Actor: Depth-Recurrent Reasoning Models for Reinforcement Learning
T. Konstantin Rusch, Tim Seyde, Jared Boyer +2
Looped reasoning models repeatedly apply a shared set of parameters, enabling more computation without increasing the model size. These models also support input-dependent computat…
Characterizing Wildlife Response to Biomimetic and Conventional Underwater Vehicles
Huy Pham, Levi Cai, Yogesh Girdhar +2
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are a promising alternative to divers for scalable collection of natural ocean ecology data. However, these robots may disturb local fauna and…
Quantifying Mechanical Intelligence in Legged Robots with Information Theory
Zach J. Patterson
Mechanical intelligence, loosely defined as the reduction in control burden afforded by a robot's physical form, has become a prominent concept in robotics, with instantiations in…
Sequential Planning via Anchored Robotic Keypoints
Bryce Grant, Aryeh Rothenberg, Logan Senning +3
Changes in a robot's observations do not automatically imply changes in the task it is solving, but language-conditioned manipulation systems often fail to separate the two. If an…
Control Lyapunov Functions for Underactuated Soft Robots
Huy Pham, Zach J. Patterson
Soft and soft-rigid hybrid robots are inherently underactuated and operate under tight actuator limits, making task-space control with stability guarantees challenging. Common nonl…
Autonomous Sea Turtle Robot for Marine Fieldwork
Zach J. Patterson, Emily Sologuren, Levi Cai +4
Autonomous robots can transform how we observe marine ecosystems, but close-range operation in reefs and other cluttered habitats remains difficult. Vehicles must maneuver safely n…
