Enhancing scientific exploration of the deep sea through shared autonomy in remote manipulation
Amy Phung, Gideon Billings, Andrea F. Daniele +2
Shared autonomy enables novice remote users to conduct deep-ocean science operations with robotic manipulators.
Statler: State-Maintaining Language Models for Embodied Reasoning
Takuma Yoneda, Jiading Fang, Peng Li +7
There has been a significant research interest in employing large language models to empower intelligent robots with complex reasoning. Existing work focuses on harnessing their ab…
Active Policy Improvement from Multiple Black-box Oracles
Xuefeng Liu, Takuma Yoneda, Chaoqi Wang +2
Reinforcement learning (RL) has made significant strides in various complex domains. However, identifying an effective policy via RL often necessitates extensive exploration. Imita…
To the Noise and Back: Diffusion for Shared Autonomy
Takuma Yoneda, Luzhe Sun, Ge Yang +2
Shared autonomy is an operational concept in which a user and an autonomous agent collaboratively control a robotic system. It provides a number of advantages over the extremes of…
N-LIMB: Neural Limb Optimization for Efficient Morphological Design
Charles Schaff, Matthew R. Walter
A robot's ability to complete a task is heavily dependent on its physical design. However, identifying an optimal physical design and its corresponding control policy is inherently…
Soft Robots Learn to Crawl: Jointly Optimizing Design and Control with Sim-to-Real Transfer
Charles Schaff, Audrey Sedal, Matthew R. Walter
This work provides a complete framework for the simulation, co-optimization, and sim-to-real transfer of the design and control of soft legged robots. The compliance of soft robots…
Towards Automated Sample Collection and Return in Extreme Underwater Environments
Gideon Billings, Matthew Walter, Oscar Pizarro +2
In this report, we present the system design, operational strategy, and results of coordinated multi-vehicle field demonstrations of autonomous marine robotic technologies in searc…
Invariance Through Latent Alignment
Takuma Yoneda, Ge Yang, Matthew R. Walter +1
A robot's deployment environment often involves perceptual changes that differ from what it has experienced during training. Standard practices such as data augmentation attempt to…
Real Robot Challenge: A Robotics Competition in the Cloud
Stefan Bauer, Felix Widmaier, Manuel Wüthrich +39
Dexterous manipulation remains an open problem in robotics. To coordinate efforts of the research community towards tackling this problem, we propose a shared benchmark. We designe…
Language Understanding for Field and Service Robots in a Priori Unknown Environments
Matthew R. Walter, Siddharth Patki, Andrea F. Daniele +7
Contemporary approaches to perception, planning, estimation, and control have allowed robots to operate robustly as our remote surrogates in uncertain, unstructured environments. T…
Benchmarking Structured Policies and Policy Optimization for Real-World Dexterous Object Manipulation
Niklas Funk, Charles Schaff, Rishabh Madan +10
Dexterous manipulation is a challenging and important problem in robotics. While data-driven methods are a promising approach, current benchmarks require simulation or extensive en…
