Learning Visuotactile Estimation and Control for Non-prehensile Manipulation under Occlusions
Juan Del Aguila Ferrandis, João Moura, Sethu Vijayakumar
Manipulation without grasping, known as non-prehensile manipulation, is essential for dexterous robots in contact-rich environments, but presents many challenges relating with unde…
Efficient Learning of Object Placement with Intra-Category Transfer
Adrian Röfer, Russell Buchanan, Max Argus +2
Efficient learning from demonstration for long-horizon tasks remains an open challenge in robotics. While significant effort has been directed toward learning trajectories, a recen…
An Efficient Representation of Whole-body Model Predictive Control for Online Compliant Dual-arm Mobile Manipulation
Wenqian Du, Ran Long, João Moura +3
Dual-arm mobile manipulators can transport and manipulate large-size objects with simple end-effectors. To interact with dynamic environments with strict safety and compliance requ…
Explicit Contact Optimization in Whole-Body Contact-Rich Manipulation
Victor Leve, João Moura, Namiko Saito +2
Humans can exploit contacts anywhere on their body surface to manipulate large and heavy items, objects normally out of reach or multiple objects at once. However, such manipulatio…
Learning Precise Affordances from Egocentric Videos for Robotic Manipulation
Gen Li, Nikolaos Tsagkas, Jifei Song +4
Affordance, defined as the potential actions that an object offers, is crucial for embodied AI agents. For example, such knowledge directs an agent to grasp a knife by the handle f…
NAS: N-step computation of All Solutions to the footstep planning problem
Jiayi Wang, Saeid Samadi, Hefan Wang +4
How many ways are there to climb a staircase in a given number of steps? Infinitely many, if we focus on the continuous aspect of the problem. A finite, possibly large number if we…
