MyoDex and SAR: Generalizable musculoskeletal control
MyoDex, presented at ICML 2023, uses generalizable shared representations to yield robust object manipulation across over sixty complex geometries.
SAR, presented at RSS 2023, presents a novel method for computing muscle synergies and utilizing these representations for robust locomotion and manipulation.
MyoChallenge '22 Winners (Phase 1)
Phase 1: Simultaneous rotation of two balls over the palm (counterclockwise only)
Phase 1: Reconfigure a die to match desired goal orientations (±180°)
MyoChallenge '22 Winners (Phase 2)
Phase 2: Simultaneous rotation of two balls over the palm (randomized initialization, physical properties, rotation options, and ball sizes)
Winner: team stiff_finger from Switzerland
Phase 2: Reconfigure a die to match desired goal orientations (±360°), varied physics, friction, size, etc.
Co-winners: team Pkumarl from China and team IARAI-JKU from Austria
