24.08.202314:00-15:00Krzysztof Walas (PUT), Invited Talk: Learning Terrain Representation for Legged Robot LocalizationE202\nAbstract: \nIn this talk\, I will describe a haptic localization system based on a terrain representation learned from the force/torque sensors at the quadruped robot's feet. Our approach was twofold: supervised terrain classification and the unsupervised method based on the autoencoder architecture. I will talk about the pros and cons of both approaches. The proposed system is well-suited for a routine robotized maintenance and inspection application\, increasing the platform's robustness. Finally\, I will present an efficient transformer-based representation of the terrain based on force/torque measurements. \n\n \nBio: \n \nKrzysztof Walas graduated from Poznan University of Technology (PUT) in Poland\, receiving an MSc in Automatic Control and Robotics. He received (with honors) a Ph.D. in Robotics in 2012 for his thesis concerning legged robot locomotion in structured environments. He did his Postdoc at The University of Birmingham\, School of Computer Science\, Intelligent Robotics Laboratory. He is a recipient of the LIDER project from the National Center for Research and Development. He was a PI in the THING project on subterranean legged locomotion within Horizon 2020. He is PI in REMODEL project on deformable object manipulation within Horizon 2020. Currently\, he is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence at PUT\, Poland. His research interests are related to robotic perception for physical interaction applied both to walking and grasping tasks.\n\nÜber Google Meet teilnehmen: https://meet.google.com/erq-ojtx-fee\n\nWeitere Informationen zu Meet: https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9282720

It is robust to changing camera viewpoints at test time\, and exploits pretrained 2D image view features in its 3D architecture. It achieves 10\\% absolute improvement over HiveFormer and InstructRL\,  the previous SOTA multi-view policies on 74 RLbench tasks and 22\\% absolute improvement with 3x less compute over PerAct\, the previous SOTA 3D policy.  Act3D depends on a low-level planner to find a collision-free trajectory between consecutive keyposes. This hinders its applicability to manipulation tasks that need continuous interactions with the environment\, such as wiping a table.  We will discuss ChainedDiffuser\, a model that unifies the keypose prediction of Act3D with trajectory diffusion models.   ChainedDiffuser maintains the performance of Act3D on simple tasks and particularly shines on tasks that involve kinematic constraints\, such as manipulating articulated objects. Last\, we will discuss a model for language-instructed robot scene rearrangement that can handle composition of language constraints zero-shot\, by modelling language concepts as energy functions over object arrangements.</p><br>Bio:           Katerina Fragkiadaki is an Assistant Professor in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University.

In contrast\, people frequently (and subconsciously) make use of dynamic phenomena to manipulate everyday objects – from unfurling blankets to tossing trash – to improve efficiency and physical reach range. These abilities are made possible by an intuition of physics\, a cornerstone of intelligence. How do we impart the same to robots?<br ><br>Modeling the complex dynamics of unseen objects from pixels is challenging. However\, by tightly integrating perception and action\, we show that it is possible to relax the need for accurate dynamical models. Thereby allowing robots to (i) learn dynamic skills for complex objects\, (ii) adapt to new scenarios using visual feedback\, and (iii) use their dynamic interactions to improve their understanding of the world. By changing the way we think about dynamics – from avoiding it to embracing it – we can simplify a number of classically challenging problems\, leading to new robot capabilities.<br><br>Bio: Shuran Song is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University.

Reinforcement learning (RL) has the potential to revolutionize robotics by enabling machines to adapt and learn from their surroundings without explicit programming. However\, the time-intensive and costly online training required for experience collection remains a major obstacle for widespread adoption. This presentation explores the utilization of pre-training on demonstration datasets\, encompassing prior robot experiences\, to expedite the learning process for a wide range of downstream RL tasks. Furthermore\, we touch upon learning language-conditioned RL policies for embodied agents and discuss the potential of a language-behaviour foundation model.</i><br><br ><i><br></i><i>On the topic of task-level planning in robotics\, leveraging large language models (LLMs) has demonstrated impressive results in developing generalist planning agents for diverse tasks. However\, grounding these plans in extensive\, multi-floor\, and multi-room environments presents an ongoing challenge. The talk highlights recent research in addressing these challenges by employing 3D scene graph representations and leveraging their hierarchical structure for scalable task planning for mobile manipulator robots.<br></i><br><i><br></i><br><i><b>Bio:</b> I am postdoctoral researcher at the QUT Centre for Robotics working on control and machine learning for robotics. My research focuses on how to effectively exploit prior and structural knowledge in deep reinforcement learning in order to guide and accelerate training. More recently\, I have been exploring how we can integrate language for robotic control and task level planning.</i>\n\nÜber Google Meet teilnehmen: https://meet.google.com/yuh-zjyq-ifh\n\nWeitere Informationen zu Meet: https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9282720

However\, the human-robot system is uncertain\, nonlinear \, and\ntime-varying posing technical challenges to customizing the interaction across\nparticipants. In this seminar\, the design of closed-loop switching adaptive\ncontrollers to achieve cadence tracking using powered FES machines will be\ndiscussed. The proposed design copes with the parametric uncertainty of the\ncycle-rider dynamics and the unknown switching muscle control effectiveness by\ncomputing adaptive estimates of the uncertain parameters. For the last part of\nthe seminar\, the stability analysis using Lyapunov methods for switching systems\nwill be presented to provide theoretical convergence guarantees followed by the\npreliminary experimental results obtained on the different testbeds.\n\nShort CV\nJonathan Casas received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering\nfrom the Colombian School of Engineering Julio Garavito in Bogota\, Colombia\, in\n2016 and 2019 \, respectively. He is currently with the Bionics\, Systems\, and\nControl Lab at Syracuse University\, NY\, USA pursuing a Ph.D. degree under the\nsupervision of Dr. Victor Duenas. His research is focused on the design and\nevaluation of data-driven adaptive controllers for nonlinear systems.\nSpecifically\, the application of a concurrent learning technique for\nhuman-in -the-loop systems such as exoskeletons and rehabilitation machines.\n\n

We perform non-uniform risk allocation by decomposing the distributionally robust joint risk constraints defined over the entire planning horizon into individual risk constraints given the total risk budget. Specifically\, the deterministic tightening defined using the individual risk constraints is leveraged to define our proposed exact risk allocation procedure. Our idea of embedding the risk allocation technique into sampling-based motion planning algorithms realizes guaranteed conservative\, yet increasingly more risk feasible trajectories for efficient state space exploration.\n\nShort CV\nVenkatraman Renganathan is a postdoctoral research fellow working with Dr. Anders Rantzer at the department of automatic control in Lund University\, Sweden. Venkatraman was born in Nagercovil\, Tamilnadu State\, India. He finished my undergraduate studies in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from the Government College of Technology\, Coimbatore\, India. Venkatraman completed my Masters in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University\, USA where he worked with Dr. Armando Rodriguez on my thesis on Missile Target Engagement for bank-to-turn missiles. Subsequently\, he moved to The University of Texas at Dallas for his PhD under Dr. Tyler Summers where he worked on security of cyberphysical systems and risk bounded motion planning using the distributionally robust optimization techniques.\nHis broad research interests include learning based and adaptive control\, risk bounded motion planning\, anomaly detection in cyber physical systems. Specifically\, he is interested in quantifying the regret and conservatism of stochastic control algorithms that try to control stochastic systems whose distributions are not known exactly or known to lie in some ambiguity sets. This specific problem setting is commonly found in both control theory and robotics.\n\n

However\, the control design becomes often very time-consuming or even&nbsp\;infeasible due to the increasing complexity of mechanical systems. The classical control approaches\, which are based on&nbsp\;first principle models of the systems\, are not satisfactory in the presence of complex dynamics\, e.g.\, for highly nonlinear&nbsp\;systems or interaction with prior unknown environment. Recent findings in artificial intelligence and machine learning have &nbsp\;shown that data-driven approaches lead to very promising results in a wide range of applications including the modeling of&nbsp\;complex dynamics. However\, the major drawback in data-driven approaches frequently manifests as unpredictable&nbsp\;outcomes. Therefore\, the current application of machine learning in control is typically limited to non-critical and low&nbsp\;performance systems.&nbsp\;<br>In this talk\, I will present our results on safe learning-based control of partially unknown mechanical systems. In the first&nbsp\;part of the seminar\, I will show how we leverage Gaussian processes for learning of the unknown dynamics in the system.&nbsp\;Gaussian process (GP) models are of high interest due to many beneficial properties such as the bias-variance trade-off and&nbsp\;the strong connection to Bayesian mathematics. We exploit the Bayesian structure to include physics-based prior&nbsp\;knowledge about the system into the learning process. In the second part\, I will present a learning-enhanced model-based&nbsp\;control law which guarantees safe control of mechanical systems with partially unknown dynamics. This control law&nbsp\;combines the strength of model-based control with the flexibility of machine learning techniques. I demonstrate how we&nbsp\;actively exploit the uncertainty of the GP model to guarantee high-performance and stability of the closed loop. Finally\, I&nbsp\;will conclude by sharing future research directions in this area.<br><br>Short CV of Thomas Beckers<br>Thomas Beckers is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering\, University of&nbsp\;Pennsylvania.

22.04.202214:00-15:00Tim Welschehold (Uni Freiburg), Invited Talk: Learning Navigation for Arbitrary Mobile Manipulation Motions in Unseen and Dynamic EnvironmentsE202+http://talks.robot-learning.netAbstract:\n\nDespite its importance in both industrial and service robotics\, mobile manipulation remains a challenge as it requires the combination of a vast range of capabilities over long horizons. Existing methods struggle to control the large configuration space and to navigate dynamic and unknown environments. We propose a deep reinforcement learning approach to learn feasible dynamic motions for a mobile base while the end-effector follows a trajectory in task space generated by an arbitrary system to fulfill the task at hand. This modular formulation has several benefits: it enables us to readily transform a broad range of end-effector motions into mobile applications\, it allows us to use the kinematic feasibility of the end-effector trajectory as a dense reward signal and its modular formulation allows it to generalise to unseen end-effector motions at test time. We further extend the approach to complex obstacle environments and enable it to solve a broad range of tasks. The resulting approach can solve unseen\ , long-horizon tasks in unexplored environments while instantly reacting to dynamic obstacles and environmental changes. At the same time it provides a simple way to define new mobile manipulation tasks.
