In this paper, we present the tidiness score-guided Monte Carlo tree search (TSMCTS), a novel framework designed to address the tabletop tidying up problem using only an RGB-D camera. We address two major problems for tabletop tidying up problem: (1) the lack of public datasets and benchmarks, and (…
Real-to-sim-to-real systems have been studied to overcome the challenges of robot policy learning in the real world by creating a virtual environment that mimics the actual workspace. However, previous studies have limitations, requiring human assistance, such as observing the workspace with a hand-
Spatial relationships between objects are key to achieving well-arranged scenes. In this paper, we address the robotic rearrangement task by leveraging these relationships to reach configurations that are both well-arranged and satisfying the given language goal. We propose a hierarchical planning f

The bin packing problem (BPP) is a challenging combinatorial optimization problem with a number of practical applications. This paper focuses on online 3D-BPP, where the packer makes immediate decisions for a loading position as items continually arrive. We propose a novel reinforcement learning alg…
We propose a novel unsupervised method for motion-based 3D part decomposition of articulated objects using a single monocular video of a dynamic scene. In contrast to existing unsupervised methods relying on optical flow or tracking techniques, our approach addresses this problem without additional…
In this paper, we perform an object rearrangement task for target retrieval in an environment with a confined space and limited observation directions. The agent must create a collision-free path to bring out the target object by relocating the surrounding objects using the prehensile action, i.e.,…
In this paper, we propose a signed distance field (SDF)-based deep Q-learning framework for multi-object re-arrangement. Our method learns to rearrange objects with non-prehensile manipulation, e.g., pushing, in unstructured environments. To reliably estimate Q-values in various scenes, we train the…
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) alleviates the problem of designing a task-specific reward function in reinforcement learning by learning it from human preference. However, existing RLHF models are considered inefficient as they produce only a single preference data from each human…
In the lateral access environment, the robot be-havior should be planned considering surrounding objects and obstacles because object observation directions and approach angles are limited. To safely retrieve a partially occluded target object in these environments, we have to relocate objects using…
In this paper, we tackle the problem of 6-DoF grasp detection which is crucial for robot grasping in cluttered real-world scenes. Unlike existing approaches which synthesize 6-DoF grasp data sets and train grasp quality networks with input grasp representations based on point clouds, we rather take…
In this paper, we propose a novel contextual bandit algorithm that employs a neural network as a reward estimator and utilizes Shannon entropy regularization to encourage exploration, which is called Shannon entropy regularized neural contextual bandits (SERN). In many learning-based algorithms for…
