Gentle Deformable Object Manipulation (Publication)
We are thrilled to announce that our recent paper “Movement Primitive Diffusion: Learning Gentle Robotic Manipulation of Deformable Objects” has been published in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L). Movement Primitive Diffusion (MPD) combines the versatility of diffusion-based imitation learning with the high motion quality of Probabilistic Dynamic Movement Primitives (ProDMPs) for gentle manipulation […]We are thrilled to announce that our recent paper “Movement Primitive Diffusion: Learning Gentle Robotic Manipulation of Deformable Objects” has been published in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L).
