We present our general-purpose mobile manipulation system consisting of a custom robot
platform and key algorithms spanning perception and planning. To extensively test the …

Robotic manipulation can be formulated as inducing a sequence of spatial displacements:
where the space being moved can encompass an object, part of an object, or end effector. In …

The creation of large, diverse, high-quality robot manipulation datasets is an important
stepping stone on the path toward more capable and robust robotic manipulation policies …

HomeRobot (noun): An affordable compliant robot that navigates homes and manipulates a
wide range of objects in order to complete everyday tasks. Open-Vocabulary Mobile …

Deploying robots in open-ended unstructured environments such as homes has been a long-
standing research problem. However, robots are often studied only in closed-off lab settings …

Recent advancements in robotics have enabled robots to navigate complex scenes or
manipulate diverse objects independently. However, robots are still impotent in many …

The FetchIt! Mobile Manipulation Challenge, held at the IEEE International Conference on
Robots and Automation (ICRA) in May 2019, offered an environment with complex and …

In this paper, we present an experiment, designed to investigate and evaluate the scalability
and the robustness aspects of mobile manipulation. The experiment involves performing …

As Embodied AI advances, it increasingly enables robots to handle the complexity of
household manipulation tasks more effectively. However, the application of robots in these …

While both navigation and manipulation are chal-lenging topics in isolation, many tasks
require the ability to both navigate and manipulate in concert. To this end, we propose a …
