Learning Keypoints for Robotic Cloth Manipulation using Synthetic Data

1 code implementation3 Jan 2024 Thomas Lips, Victor-Louis De Gusseme, Francis wyffels

To advance the use of synthetic data for cloth manipulation and to enable tasks such as robotic folding, we present a synthetic data pipeline to train keypoint detectors for almost flattened cloth items.

Revisiting Proprioceptive Sensing for Articulated Object Manipulation

no code implementations16 May 2023 Thomas Lips, Francis wyffels

We perform a qualitative evaluation of this system, where we find that slip between the gripper and handle limits the performance.

1 code implementation8 Aug 2022 Peter De Roovere, Steven Moonen, Nick Michiels, Francis wyffels

The close correspondence between synthetic and real-world data, and controlled variations, will facilitate sim-to-real research.

KeyCLD: Learning Constrained Lagrangian Dynamics in Keypoint Coordinates from Images

no code implementations22 Jun 2022 Rembert Daems, Jeroen Taets, Francis wyffels, Guillaume Crevecoeur

We demonstrate learning of Lagrangian dynamics from images on the dm_control pendulum, cartpole and acrobot environments.

Learning Keypoints from Synthetic Data for Robotic Cloth Folding

2 code implementations13 May 2022 Thomas Lips, Victor-Louis De Gusseme, Francis wyffels

We evaluate the performance of this detector for folding towels on a unimanual robot setup and find that the grasp and fold success rates are 77% and 53%, respectively.

Populations of Spiking Neurons for Reservoir Computing: Closed Loop Control of a Compliant Quadruped

no code implementations9 Apr 2020 Alexander Vandesompele, Gabriel Urbain, Francis wyffels, Joni Dambre

Using the FORCE learning paradigm, we train a reservoir of spiking neuron populations to act as a central pattern generator.

A Differentiable Physics Engine for Deep Learning in Robotics

no code implementations5 Nov 2016 Jonas Degrave, Michiel Hermans, Joni Dambre, Francis wyffels

Currently, robots are often treated as a black box in this optimization process, which is the reason why derivative-free optimization methods such as evolutionary algorithms or reinforcement learning are omnipresent.
