Model-based reinforcement learning approaches leverage a forward dynamics model to support planning and decision making, which, however, may fail catastrophically if the model is inaccurate. Although there are several existing methods…

Deep reinforcement learning (deep RL) has emerged as an effective tool for developing controllers for legged robots. However, vanilla deep RL often requires a tremendous amount of training samples and is not feasible for achieving robust…

Imitation learning is promising for robotic manipulation, but \emph{precise insertion} in the real world remains difficult due to contact-rich dynamics, tight clearances, and limited demonstrations. Many existing visuomotor policies depend…
