By I-Chun Arthur Liu Bimanual manipulation is essential for robots to manipulate objects as well as humans. It becomes necessary when objects are too large to be controlled by one hand or when using one hand to stabilize an object makes it easier for the other hand to manipulate it. In this work, we focus … Continue reading VoxAct-B: Voxel-Based Acting and Stabilizing Policy for Bimanual Manipulation
By Anthony Liang Teaching robots to perform complex control tasks from high-dimensional image inputs is a nontrivial problem. State-of-the-art methods require hundreds of manually collected expert demonstrations or hours to days of training in simulation to learn a simple pick-and-place skill. One reason for this is that images are cluttered with distractions for robots, such … Continue reading ViSaRL: Saliency-Guided Visual Representations for Robot Learning
