Sim-to-Real Transfer for Muscle-Actuated Robots via Generalized Actuator Networks
Jan Schneider, Mridul Mahajan, Le Chen +4
Tendon drives paired with soft muscle actuation enable faster and safer robots while potentially accelerating skill acquisition. Still, these systems are rarely used in practice du…
Dexterous Robotic Piano Playing at Scale
Le Chen, Yi Zhao, Jan Schneider +7
Endowing robot hands with human-level dexterity has been a long-standing goal in robotics. Bimanual robotic piano playing represents a particularly challenging task: it is high-dim…
Towards Embodiment Scaling Laws in Robot Locomotion
Bo Ai, Liu Dai, Nico Bohlinger +7
Cross-embodiment generalization underpins the vision of building generalist embodied agents for any robot, yet its enabling factors remain poorly understood. We investigate embodim…
Open X-Embodiment: Robotic Learning Datasets and RT-X Models
Embodiment Collaboration, Abby O'Neill, Abdul Rehman +291
Large, high-capacity models trained on diverse datasets have shown remarkable successes on efficiently tackling downstream applications. In domains from NLP to Computer Vision, thi…
RLDG: Robotic Generalist Policy Distillation via Reinforcement Learning
Charles Xu, Qiyang Li, Jianlan Luo +1
Recent advances in robotic foundation models have enabled the development of generalist policies that can adapt to diverse tasks. While these models show impressive flexibility, th…
