Abstract: Imitation Learning (IL) is a promising paradigm for learning dynamic manipulation of deformable objects since it does not depend on difficult-to-create accurate simulations of such objects.

In this video, we show how to model a string with mass using Python, breaking down the physics, equations, and numerical approach step by step. Learn how to represent distributed mass, apply forces, ...

Abstract: Assistive robots should be able to wash, fold or iron clothes. However, due to the variety, deformability and self-occlusions of clothes, creating robot systems for cloth manipulation is ...
