Catch, Throw, Repeat: Planning for Human-Robot Partner Juggling

Jonathan Rainer Lippert, Kai Ploeger, Abir Chowdhury, Hermann Müller, Jan Peters, Alap Kshirsagar

Dynamic object exchange between humans and robots remains a challenging problem due to uncertainty in perception, timing, and contact-rich interaction. Human-robot juggling represents a particularly demanding instance of this problem, requiring precise real-time coordination, pre…

Directional Constraints for Efficient Exploration in Safe Reinforcement Learning

Paolo Magliano, Puze Liu, Jan Peters, Davide Tateo, Raffaello Camoriano

Reinforcement Learning has revolutionized the landscape of robotic research, allowing robust learning of complex robotic skills in simulation. However, real-world deployment in open-ended environments requires strong safety guarantees to prevent dangerous or harmful behaviors. Sa…

More Structure, Not More Capacity: Object-Centric Representations for Visuomotor Imitation Learning

Yi Li, Alexandre Chapin, Liming Chen, Jan Peters, Alap Kshirsagar

Robotic manipulation policies rely on pre-trained vision models that give either a global scene embedding or a dense patch grid. Both mix task-relevant and task-irrelevant features. Object-centric slot representations are a structured alternative: they group features into a few p…
