Approximating Global Contact-Implicit MPC via Sampling and Local Complementarity

Sharanya Venkatesh, Bibit Bianchini, Alp Aydinoglu +2

To achieve general-purpose dexterous manipulation, robots must rapidly devise and execute contact-rich behaviors. Existing model-based controllers are incapable of globally optimiz…
