Asymptotically Optimal Ergodic Coverage on Generalized Motion Fields

RSS 2026poster

Autonomous robotic exploration in remote and extreme environments allows scientists to model complex transport phenomena and collective behaviors described by continuously deforming flow fields. Although these environments are naturally modeled as time-varying domains, most adaptive exploration meth…

Sample-Based Hybrid Mode Control: Asymptotically Optimal Switching of Algorithmic and Non-Differentiable Control Modes

ICRA 2026poster

This paper investigates a sample-based solution to the hybrid mode control problem across non-differentiable and algorithmic hybrid modes. Our approach reasons about a set of hybrid control modes as an integer-based optimization problem where we select what mode to apply, when to switch to another m…

Accelerating Visual-Policy Learning through Parallel Differentiable Simulation

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

In this work, we propose a computationally efficient algorithm for visual policy learning that leverages differentiable simulation and first-order analytical policy gradients. Our approach decouple the rendering process from the computation graph, enabling seamless integration with existing differen…
