Safe Online Gain Optimization for Variable Impedance Control

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Changhao Wang, Zhian Kuang, Xiang Zhang, Masayoshi Tomizuka, | Summary: Smooth behaviors are preferable for many contact-rich manipulation tasks. Impedance control arises as an effective way to regulate robot movements by mimicking a mass-spring-damping system. Consequently, the robot behavior can be determined by the impedance gains. However, […]

Density of States Prediction for Materials Discovery via Contrastive Learning from Probabilistic Embeddings

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Shufeng Kong, Francesco Ricci, Dan Guevarra, Jeffrey B. Neaton, Carla P. Gomes | Summary: Machine learning for materials discovery has largely focused on predicting an individual scalar rather than multiple related properties, where spectral properties are an important example. Fundamental spectral properties include the phonon density […]
