Hypothesis-driven Model Expansion under Uncertainty for Open-World Robot Planning
Anxing Xiao, Hanbo Zhang, Tianrun Hu +1
We consider an open-world planning setting in which service robots must operate in unknown environments with incomplete knowledge of objects and actions. Traditional closed-world a…
Visibility-Aware Mobile Grasping in Dynamic Environments
Tianrun Hu, Anxing Xiao, David Hsu +1
This paper addresses the problem of mobile grasping in dynamic, unknown environments where a robot must operate under a limited field-of-view. The fundamental challenge is the inhe…
Chain-of-Action: Trajectory Autoregressive Modeling for Robotic Manipulation
Wenbo Zhang, Tianrun Hu, Hanbo Zhang +7
We present Chain-of-Action (CoA), a novel visuo-motor policy paradigm built upon Trajectory Autoregressive Modeling. Unlike conventional approaches that predict next step action(s)…
MimicFunc: Imitating Tool Manipulation from a Single Human Video via Functional Correspondence
Chao Tang, Anxing Xiao, Yuhong Deng +5
Imitating tool manipulation from human videos offers an intuitive approach to teaching robots, while also providing a promising and scalable alternative to labor-intensive teleoper…
Robi Butler: Multimodal Remote Interaction with a Household Robot Assistant
Anxing Xiao, Nuwan Janaka, Tianrun Hu +4
Imagine a future when we can Zoom-call a robot to manage household chores remotely. This work takes one step in this direction. Robi Butler is a new household robot assistant that…
FUNCTO: Function-Centric One-Shot Imitation Learning for Tool Manipulation
Chao Tang, Anxing Xiao, Yuhong Deng +5
Learning tool use from a single human demonstration video offers a highly intuitive and efficient approach to robot teaching. While humans can effortlessly generalize a demonstrate…
