Multi-humanoid robots learn cooperative object transport via decentralized control

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a decentralized object-centric control system for multi-humanoid robots to cooperatively pick up and transport objects of varying properties. The approach utilizes a gripperless bimanual pinching method and an attachment-based interface that allows for seamless transitions between single-robot pickup and multi-robot transport without task-specific redesign. Policies trained on single-robot tasks demonstrated significant transferability to cooperative scenarios, with explicit multi-robot training further enhancing performance. The system has been validated in simulations with diverse team sizes and object geometries, and successfully transferred to real-world hardware. AI

IMPACT This research could advance the capabilities of multi-robot systems in complex manipulation tasks, potentially impacting logistics and manufacturing.
