IPAB visitor seminar - General Manipulation for Assistive Robotics

Date: 
Wed, 23/04/2025 - 12:00
Location: 
Bayes Centre room G.03
Speaker: 
Dr Fan Zhang
Honda Research Institute EU

Abstract: In this talk, we cover four aspects of research on general manipulation for assistive robotics : i), efficiently adapting large-scale models to downstream scene affordance understanding tasks, especially in daily living scenarios where gathering multi-task data involving humans requires strenuous effort; ii), effectively learning robot action trajectories with our flow matching policy; iii) sim-to-real physics learning for deformable manipulation and robot-assisted dressing;  iv) multi-modal (vision, tactile, audio) learning.
