Characterizing Replay Retention Under Dynamics Shift in Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
Everest Yang, Skye Thompson, George D. Konidaris
Adapting to changes in robot dynamics requires learning from new data without discarding experience that may still be useful. In continual model-based reinforcement learning (RL),…

Topology-Agnostic Mesh Reconstruction of Deformable Objects from Sparse Touch
Everest Yang
Estimating the full shape of a deformable object is especially challenging when vision is unavailable: in the dark, inside an opaque bag, behind the manipulating hand, or under hea…

Deformable State Estimation for Autonomous Surgical Tissue Retraction Under Partial Observability
Everest Yang, Skye Thompson, George D. Konidaris
Surgical tissue retraction requires effective manipulation planning under partial and noisy perception. We study state estimation for deformable tissue retraction, where only spars…
