Infinite-Horizon Value Function Approximation for Model Predictive Control

ICRA 2026poster

Model Predictive Control has emerged as a popular tool for robots to generate complex motions. However, the real-time requirement has limited the use of hard constraints and large preview horizons, which are necessary to ensure safety and stability. In practice, practitioners have to carefully desig…

Learning-Guided Force-Feedback Model Predictive Control with Obstacle Avoidance for Robotic Deburring

ICRA 2026poster

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is widely used for torque-controlled robots, but classical formulations often neglect real-time force feedback and struggle with contact-rich industrial tasks under collision constraints. Deburring in particular requires precise tool insertion, stable force regulation,…

Warm-Starting Collision-Free Model Predictive Control With Object-Centric Diffusion

RA-L 2026

Acting in cluttered environments requires predicting and avoiding collisions while still achieving precise control. Conventional optimization-based controllers can enforce physical constraints, but they struggle to produce feasible solutions quickly when many obstacles are present. Diffusion models

Collision Avoidance in Model Predictive Control Using Velocity Damper

ICRA 2025

<div> We propose an advanced method for controlling the motion of a manipulator robot with strict collision avoidance in dynamic environments, leveraging a velocity damper constraint. Unlike conventional distance-based constraints, which tend to saturate near obstacles to reach optimality, the veloc
