IMPACT: Intelligent Motion Planning with Acceptable Contact Trajectories Via Vision-Language Models

ICRA 2026poster

Motion planning involves determining a sequence of robot configurations to reach a desired pose, subject to movement and safety constraints. Traditional motion planning finds collision-free paths, but this is overly restrictive in clutter, where it may not be possible for a robot to accomplish a tas…

Learning Geometry-Aware Nonprehensile Pushing and Pulling with Dexterous Hands

ICRA 2026poster

Nonprehensile manipulation, such as pushing and pulling, enables robots to move, align, or reposition objects that may be difficult to grasp due to their geometry, size, or relationship to the robot or the environment. Much of the existing work in nonprehensile manipulation relies on parallel-jaw gr…

GenSim: Generating Robotic Simulation Tasks via Large Language Models

ICLR 2024spotlight

Collecting large amounts of real-world interaction data to train general robotic policies is often prohibitively expensive, thus motivating the use of simulation data. However, existing methods for data generation have generally focused on scene-level diversity (e.g., object instances and poses) rat…
