Motion Planning as Online Learning: A Multi-Armed Bandit Approach to Kinodynamic Sampling-Based Planning
Marco Faroni, Dmitry Berenson
Kinodynamic motion planners allow robots to perform complex manipulation tasks under dynamics constraints or with black-box models. However, they struggle to find high-quality solu…
Constrained Stein Variational Trajectory Optimization
Thomas Power, Dmitry Berenson
We present Constrained Stein Variational Trajectory Optimization (CSVTO), an algorithm for performing trajectory optimization with constraints on a set of trajectories in parallel.…
Integrated Object Deformation and Contact Patch Estimation from Visuo-Tactile Feedback
Mark Van der Merwe, Youngsun Wi, Dmitry Berenson +1
Reasoning over the interplay between object deformation and force transmission through contact is central to the manipulation of compliant objects. In this paper, we propose Neural…
CHSEL: Producing Diverse Plausible Pose Estimates from Contact and Free Space Data
Sheng Zhong, Nima Fazeli, Dmitry Berenson
This paper proposes a novel method for estimating the set of plausible poses of a rigid object from a set of points with volumetric information, such as whether each point is in fr…
Data-Efficient Learning of Natural Language to Linear Temporal Logic Translators for Robot Task Specification
Jiayi Pan, Glen Chou, Dmitry Berenson
To make robots accessible to a broad audience, it is critical to endow them with the ability to take universal modes of communication, like commands given in natural language, and…
