Assemble Them All: Physics-Based Planning for Generalizable Assembly by Disassembly
Yunsheng Tian, Jie Xu, Yichen Li +5
Assembly planning is the core of automating product assembly, maintenance, and recycling for modern industrial manufacturing. Despite its importance and long history of research, p…
An Integrated Design Pipeline for Tactile Sensing Robotic Manipulators
Lara Zlokapa, Yiyue Luo, Jie Xu +4
Traditional robotic manipulator design methods require extensive, time-consuming, and manual trial and error to produce a viable design. During this process, engineers often spend…
Accelerated Policy Learning with Parallel Differentiable Simulation
Jie Xu, Viktor Makoviychuk, Yashraj Narang +4
Deep reinforcement learning can generate complex control policies, but requires large amounts of training data to work effectively. Recent work has attempted to address this issue…
Evolution Gym: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Evolving Soft Robots
Jagdeep Singh Bhatia, Holly Jackson, Yunsheng Tian +2
Both the design and control of a robot play equally important roles in its task performance. However, while optimal control is well studied in the machine learning and robotics com…
An End-to-End Differentiable Framework for Contact-Aware Robot Design
Jie Xu, Tao Chen, Lara Zlokapa +4
The current dominant paradigm for robotic manipulation involves two separate stages: manipulator design and control. Because the robot's morphology and how it can be controlled are…
Multi-Objective Graph Heuristic Search for Terrestrial Robot Design
Jie Xu, Andrew Spielberg, Allan Zhao +2
We present methods for co-designing rigid robots over control and morphology (including discrete topology) over multiple objectives. Previous work has addressed problems in single-…
