We present a generative predictive control (GPC) framework that amortizes sampling-based Model Predictive Control (SPC) by bootstrapping it with conditional flow-matching models trained on SPC control sequences collected in simulation. Unlike prior work relying on iterative refinement or gradient-ba
Sampling-based model predictive control (MPC) is experiencing a resurgence in robotics following both recent hardware successes and advancements in parallelized physics simulation. However, to build on this progress, the robotics community needs to develop shared tools for prototyping, benchmarking,…
Robotic manipulation is challenging due to discontinuous dynamics, as well as high-dimensional state and action spaces. Data-driven approaches that succeed in manipulation tasks require large amounts of data and expert demonstrations, typically from humans. Existing planners are restricted to specif…
