Yaru Niu, Yunzhe Zhang, Mingyang Yu +11
Quadrupedal robots have demonstrated impressive locomotion capabilities in complex environments, but equipping them with autonomous versatile manipulation skills in a scalable way…
Chain-of-Modality: Learning Manipulation Programs from Multimodal Human Videos with Vision-Language-Models
Chen Wang, Fei Xia, Wenhao Yu +6
Learning to perform manipulation tasks from human videos is a promising approach for teaching robots. However, many manipulation tasks require changing control parameters during ta…
Learning Multi-Agent Loco-Manipulation for Long-Horizon Quadrupedal Pushing
Yuming Feng, Chuye Hong, Yaru Niu +6
Recently, quadrupedal locomotion has achieved significant success, but their manipulation capabilities, particularly in handling large objects, remain limited, restricting their us…
QuietPaw: Learning Quadrupedal Locomotion with Versatile Noise Preference Alignment
Yuyou Zhang, Yihang Yao, Shiqi Liu +7
When operating at their full capacity, quadrupedal robots can produce loud footstep noise, which can be disruptive in human-centered environments like homes, offices, and hospitals…
Versatile Locomotion Skills for Hexapod Robots
Tomson Qu, Dichen Li, Avideh Zakhor +2
Hexapod robots are potentially suitable for carrying out tasks in cluttered environments since they are stable, compact, and light weight. They also have multi-joint legs and varia…
