DLO-Lab: Benchmarking Deformable Linear Object Manipulations with Differentiable Physics

ICML 2026poster

We address the challenge of enabling robots to manipulate deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as ropes, cables, and rubber bands. Prior work has primarily focused on narrow, task-specific problems, often relying on real-world demonstrations or handcrafted heuristics. Such approaches, however, str…

MQE: Unleashing the Power of Interaction with Multi-agent Quadruped Environment

IROS 2024poster

The advent of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has significantly advanced the field of robotics, particularly in the control and coordination of quadruped robots. However, the complexity of real-world tasks often necessitates the deployment of multi-robot systems capable of sophisticated interactio…

Finetuning Offline World Models in the Real World

CoRL 2023oral

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is notoriously data-inefficient, which makes training on a real robot difficult. While model-based RL algorithms (world models) improve data-efficiency to some extent, they still require hours or days of interaction to learn skills. Recently, offline RL has been proposed…
