Isaac Lab: A GPU-Accelerated Simulation Framework for Multi-Modal Robot Learning

NVIDIA, :, Mayank Mittal +104

We present Isaac Lab, the natural successor to Isaac Gym, which extends the paradigm of GPU-native robotics simulation into the era of large-scale multi-modal learning. Isaac Lab c…

TacSL: A Library for Visuotactile Sensor Simulation and Learning

Iretiayo Akinola, Jie Xu, Jan Carius +2

For both humans and robots, the sense of touch, known as tactile sensing, is critical for performing contact-rich manipulation tasks. Three key challenges in robotic tactile sensin…

Imitation Learning from MPC for Quadrupedal Multi-Gait Control

Alexander Reske, Jan Carius, Yuntao Ma +2

We present a learning algorithm for training a single policy that imitates multiple gaits of a walking robot. To achieve this, we use and extend MPC-Net, which is an Imitation Lear…

Contact-Implicit Trajectory Optimization for Dynamic Object Manipulation

Jean-Pierre Sleiman, Jan Carius, Ruben Grandia +2

We present a reformulation of a contact-implicit optimization (CIO) approach that computes optimal trajectories for rigid-body systems in contact-rich settings. A hard-contact mode…

MPC-Net: A First Principles Guided Policy Search

Jan Carius, Farbod Farshidian, Marco Hutter

We present an Imitation Learning approach for the control of dynamical systems with a known model. Our policy search method is guided by solutions from MPC. Typical policy search m…
