Receding-Horizon Pushing with Composable Object-Centric Policies

Zhiyi Yuan, Tianrun Hu, Anxing Xiao +3

Non-prehensile manipulation is practical for relocating large, heavy, or geometrically ungraspable objects. Yet, long-horizon pushing of arbitrarily-shaped 3D objects couples three…

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

We consider mobile grasping in unknown and dynamic environments, where a robot must approach and grasp a target object using a camera with a limited field of view. This setting int…
