NeuralActuator: Neural Actuation Modeling for Robot Dynamics and External Force Perception

RSS 2026poster

Differentiable simulators have advanced policy learning and model-based control across diverse robotic tasks. To date, actuator dynamics remain underexplored and are a major source of sim-to-real error, especially on low-cost platforms where the linear current–torque model τ = K_tI breaks down under…

ASAP: Automated Sequence Planning for Complex Robotic Assembly with Physical Feasibility

ICRA 2024poster

The automated assembly of complex products requires a system that can automatically plan a physically feasible sequence of actions for assembling many parts together. In this paper, we present ASAP, a physics-based planning approach for automatically generating such a sequence for general-shaped ass…
