cuArms: GPU-Accelerated Conflict-Based Planning for Multi-Arm Manipulation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

cuArms is a GPU-accelerated conflict-based planner designed for multi-arm manipulation tasks. It decomposes the search space using reusable multi-modal roadmaps for each robot and resolves conflicts and deadlocks via a lazy search, while a high-level scheduler proposes candidate skeletons for joint optimization of task assignment, schedules, motions, and manipulation skills. Experimental results demonstrate real-time initial solutions and anytime improvements in motion quality and scheduling, outperforming previous methods that required extensive domain-specific training.

DemoStream: Batched Task-and-Motion-Plan Optimization for Automated Learning from Demonstration

DemoStream is a Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) system that uses GPU‑accelerated batched sampling to generate high‑quality demonstrations for robotic manipulation. By optimizing demonstration quality and exploring many solutions in parallel, it improves behavior cloning success rates and enables real‑world demo collection at an average of 66 demos per hour. The approach evaluates different action spaces, cost functions, and batch sizes in simulation to understand their impact on downstream policy performance.
