A Stochastic Approach to Contact-rich Manipulation

Julius Maximilian Jankowski

For robots to operate in unstructured environments, they are required to interact with objects through contact. Those contacts may be used to push objects to the side, deform objects, or manipulate objects in-hand. This thesis addresses the problem of cont ...

Learning Constrained Distributions of Robot Configurations with Generative Adversarial Network

Sylvain Calinon, Emmanuel Pignat, Teguh Santoso Lembono, Julius Maximilian Jankowski

In high dimensional robotic system, the manifold of the valid configuration space often has a complex shape, especially under constraints such as end-effector orientation or static stability. We propose a generative adversarial network approach to learn th ...

Robust pushing: Exploiting quasi-static belief dynamics and contact-informed optimization

Sylvain Calinon, Julius Maximilian Jankowski

Non-prehensile manipulation such as pushing is typically subject to uncertain, non-smooth dynamics. However, modeling the uncertainty of the dynamics typically results in intractable belief dynamics, making data-efficient planning under uncertainty difficu ...

Probabilistic Adaptive Control for Robust Behavior Imitation

Sylvain Calinon, Hakan Girgin, Julius Maximilian Jankowski

In the context of learning from demonstration (LfD), trajectory policy representations such as probabilistic movement primitives (ProMPs) allow for rich modeling of demonstrated skills. To reproduce a learned skill with a real robot, a feedback controller ...

VP-STO: Via-point-based Stochastic Trajectory Optimization for Reactive Robot Behavior

Sylvain Calinon, Julius Maximilian Jankowski

Achieving reactive robot behavior in complex dynamic environments is still challenging as it relies on being able to solve trajectory optimization problems quickly enough, such that we can replan the future motion at frequencies which are sufficiently high ...
