Screw Geometry Meets Bandits: Incremental Acquisition of Demonstrations to Generate Manipulation Plans

ICRA 2026poster

In this paper, we study the problem of methodically obtaining a sufficient set of kinesthetic demonstrations, one at a time, such that a robot can be confident of its ability to perform a complex manipulation task in a given region of its workspace. Although programming by demonstration has been an …

Point Cloud Decomposition for Task-Oriented Grasping

ICRA 2025

Accurate localization of graspable regions within a single object point cloud is critical to enable task-based robot grasps. State-of-the-art task-based robot grasp synthesis methods fit over-approximated 3D bounding boxes that, in some cases, fail to isolate graspable regions even if they exist. Wh

Transferring Kinesthetic Demonstrations across Diverse Objects for Manipulation Planning

IROS 2025

Given a demonstration of a complex manipulation task, such as pouring liquid from one container to another, we seek to generate a motion plan for a new task instance involving objects with different geometries. This is nontrivial since we need to simultaneously ensure that the implicit motion constr
