SAS-Prompt: Large Language Models as Numerical Optimizers for Robot Self-Improvement

ICRA 2025

We demonstrate the ability of large language models (LLMs) to perform iterative self-improvement of robot policies. An important insight of this paper is that LLMs have a built-in ability to perform (stochastic) numerical optimization and that this property can be leveraged for explainable robot pol

RoboVQA: Multimodal Long-Horizon Reasoning for Robotics

ICRA 2024poster

We present a scalable, bottom-up and intrinsically diverse data collection scheme that can be used for high-level reasoning with long and medium horizons and that has 2.2x higher throughput compared to traditional narrow top-down step-by-step collection. We collect realistic data by performing any u…

Robotic Table Tennis with Model-Free Reinforcement Learning

IROS 2020poster

We propose a model-free algorithm for learning efficient policies capable of returning table tennis balls by controlling robot joints at a rate of 100Hz. We demonstrate that evolutionary search (ES) methods acting on CNN-based policy architectures for non-visual inputs and convolving across time lea…
