Training and Evaluating Diffusion Policies with Long Context Lengths

Abhinav Agarwal, Adam Wei, Taylan Kargin +6

Imitation learning has enabled highly-dexterous robotic manipulation from RGB observations. Policies trained with these methods, however, typically condition robot actions on only…

Ambient Diffusion Policy: Imitation Learning from Suboptimal Data in Robotics

Adam Wei, Nicholas Pfaff, Thomas Cohn +4

We propose Ambient Diffusion Policy, a simple and principled method for imitation learning from suboptimal data in robotics. High-quality, task-specific robot data is expensive and…

SceneSmith: Agentic Generation of Simulation-Ready Indoor Scenes

Nicholas Pfaff, Thomas Cohn, Sergey Zakharov +2

Simulation has become a key tool for training and evaluating home robots at scale, yet existing environments fail to capture the diversity and physical complexity of real indoor sp…

Cost-Driven Representation Learning for Linear Quadratic Gaussian Control: Part II

Yi Tian, Kaiqing Zhang, Russ Tedrake +1

We study the problem of state representation learning for control from partial and potentially high-dimensional observations. We approach this problem via cost-driven state represe…

A Framework for Combining Optimization-Based and Analytic Inverse Kinematics

Thomas Cohn, Lihan Tang, Alexandre Amice +1

Analytic and optimization methods for solving inverse kinematics (IK) problems have been deeply studied throughout the history of robotics. The two strategies have complementary st…
