Uniform object rearrangement: From complete monotone primitives to efficient non-monotone informed search
Object rearrangement is a widely-applicable and challenging task for robots. Geometric
constraints must be carefully examined to avoid collisions and combinatorial issues arise as …

Selective object rearrangement in clutter
We propose an image-based, learned method for selective tabletop object rearrangement in
clutter using a parallel jaw gripper. Our method consists of three stages: graph-based object …

Multi-robot geometric task-and-motion planning for collaborative manipulation tasks
We address multi-robot geometric task-and-motion planning (MR-GTAMP) problems in
synchronous, monotone setups. The goal of the MR-GTAMP problem is to move objects with …

Coordination of two robotic manipulators for object retrieval in clutter
We consider the problem of retrieving a target object from a confined space by two robotic
manipulators where overhand grasps are not allowed. If other movable obstacles occlude …
