Efficient greenhouse management is essential for sustainable food production, but the high energy demand for climate regulation poses significant economic and environmental challenges. While traditional process-based greenhouse models…
This paper presents a comprehensive sim-to-real pipeline for autonomous strawberry picking from dense clusters using a Franka Panda robot. Our approach leverages a custom Mujoco simulation environment that integrates domain randomization…
The emergence of 3D Gaussian Splatting for fast and high-quality novel view synthesize has opened up the possibility to construct photo-realistic simulations from video for robotic reinforcement learning. While the approach has been…
Visual reinforcement learning (RL) has made significant progress in recent years, but the choice of visual feature extractor remains a crucial design decision. This paper compares the performance of RL algorithms that train a convolutional…
Regardless of their industrial or research application, the streamlining of robot operations is limited by the proximity of experienced users to the actual hardware. Be it massive open online robotics courses, crowd-sourcing of robot task…
