Learning Loco-Manipulation From SMPC Demonstrations With Sparse Offline-to-Online RL
Martin Schuck, Maks Sorokin, Simone Manni +5
Integrating locomotion and manipulation is essential for robot autonomy, but scaling standard Reinforcement Learning (RL) to complex tasks is severely bottlenecked by the slow, man…

Sumo: Dynamic and Generalizable Whole-Body Loco-Manipulation
John Z. Zhang, Maks Sorokin, Jan Brüdigam +14
This paper presents a sim-to-real approach that enables legged robots to dynamically manipulate large and heavy objects with whole-body dexterity. Our key insight is that by perfor…

Jacta: A Versatile Planner for Learning Dexterous and Whole-body Manipulation
Jan Brüdigam, Ali-Adeeb Abbas, Maks Sorokin +7
Robotic manipulation is challenging due to discontinuous dynamics, as well as high-dimensional state and action spaces. Data-driven approaches that succeed in manipulation tasks re…
