Teaching Robots Like Dogs: Learning Agile Navigation from Luring, Gesture, and Speech
Taerim Yoon, Dongho Kang, Jin Cheng +5
In this work, we aim to enable legged robots to learn how to interpret human social cues and produce appropriate behaviors through physical human guidance. However, learning throug…
Whole-Body Inverse Dynamics MPC for Legged Loco-Manipulation
Lukas Molnar, Jin Cheng, Gabriele Fadini +3
Loco-manipulation demands coordinated whole-body motion to manipulate objects effectively while maintaining locomotion stability, presenting significant challenges for both plannin…
TARC: Time-Adaptive Robotic Control
Arnav Sukhija, Lenart Treven, Jin Cheng +3
Fixed-frequency control in robotics imposes a trade-off between the efficiency of low-frequency control and the robustness of high-frequency control, a limitation not seen in adapt…
RAMBO: RL-Augmented Model-Based Whole-Body Control for Loco-Manipulation
Jin Cheng, Dongho Kang, Gabriele Fadini +2
Loco-manipulation, physical interaction of various objects that is concurrently coordinated with locomotion, remains a major challenge for legged robots due to the need for both pr…
Learning More With Less: Sample Efficient Model-Based RL for Loco-Manipulation
Benjamin Hoffman, Jin Cheng, Chenhao Li +1
By combining the agility of legged locomotion with the capabilities of manipulation, loco-manipulation platforms have the potential to perform complex tasks in real-world applicati…
