Pick Planning Strategies for Large-Scale Package Manipulation

no code implementations23 Sep 2023 Shuai Li, Azarakhsh Keipour, Kevin Jamieson, Nicolas Hudson, Sicong Zhao, Charles Swan, Kostas Bekris

Automating warehouse operations can reduce logistics overhead costs, ultimately driving down the final price for consumers, increasing the speed of delivery, and enhancing the resiliency to market fluctuations.

Demonstrating Large-Scale Package Manipulation via Learned Metrics of Pick Success

no code implementations17 May 2023 Shuai Li, Azarakhsh Keipour, Kevin Jamieson, Nicolas Hudson, Charles Swan, Kostas Bekris

This paper demonstrates a large-scale package manipulation from unstructured piles in Amazon Robotics' Robot Induction (Robin) fleet, which utilizes a pick success predictor trained on real production data.

Passing Through Narrow Gaps with Deep Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations6 Mar 2021 Brendan Tidd, Akansel Cosgun, Jurgen Leitner, Nicolas Hudson

While we show the feasibility of our approach in simulation, the difference in performance between simulated and real world scenarios highlight the difficulty of direct sim-to-real transfer for deep reinforcement learning policies.

Learning Setup Policies: Reliable Transition Between Locomotion Behaviours

no code implementations23 Jan 2021 Brendan Tidd, Nicolas Hudson, Akansel Cosgun, Jurgen Leitner

Dynamic platforms that operate over many unique terrain conditions typically require many behaviours.

Semi-supervised Gated Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Terrain Classification

1 code implementation24 Nov 2020 Ahmadreza Ahmadi, Tønnes Nygaard, Navinda Kottege, David Howard, Nicolas Hudson

Legged robots are popular candidates for missions in challenging terrains due to the wide variety of locomotion strategies they can employ.

Learning When to Switch: Composing Controllers to Traverse a Sequence of Terrain Artifacts

no code implementations1 Nov 2020 Brendan Tidd, Nicolas Hudson, Akansel Cosgun, Jurgen Leitner

Legged robots often use separate control policiesthat are highly engineered for traversing difficult terrain suchas stairs, gaps, and steps, where switching between policies isonly possible when the robot is in a region that is commonto adjacent controllers.

Guided Curriculum Learning for Walking Over Complex Terrain

no code implementations8 Oct 2020 Brendan Tidd, Nicolas Hudson, Akansel Cosgun

Reliable bipedal walking over complex terrain is a challenging problem, using a curriculum can help learning.

Deep Leaf Segmentation Using Synthetic Data
