Diffusion-ES: Gradient-free Planning with Diffusion for Autonomous and Instruction-guided Driving

CVPR 2024poster

Diffusion models excel at modeling complex and multimodal trajectory distributions for decision-making and control. Reward-gradient guided denoising has been recently proposed to generate trajectories that maximize both a differentiable reward function and the likelihood under the data distribution…

Tractable Joint Prediction and Planning over Discrete Behavior Modes for Urban Driving

ICRA 2024poster

Significant progress has been made in training multimodal trajectory forecasting models for autonomous driving. However, effectively integrating these models with downstream planners and model-based control approaches is still an open problem. Although these models have conventionally been evaluated…

Data-efficient Learning of Morphology and Controller for a Microrobot

ICRA 2019poster

Robot design is often a slow and difficult process requiring the iterative construction and testing of prototypes, with the goal of sequentially optimizing the design. For most robots, this process is further complicated by the need, when validating the capabilities of the hardware to solve the desi…

REPLAB: A Reproducible Low-Cost Arm Benchmark for Robotic Learning

ICRA 2019poster

Standardized evaluation measures have aided in the progress of machine learning approaches in disciplines such as computer vision and machine translation. In this paper, we make the case that robotic learning would also benefit from benchmarking, and present a template for a vision-based manipulatio…
