QDTraj: Exploration of Diverse Trajectory Primitives for Articulated Objects Robotic Manipulation

The paper introduces QDTraj, a method that uses Quality‑Diversity algorithms to automatically generate a diverse set of low‑level trajectory primitives for manipulating articulated objects. By leveraging sparse reward exploration, QDTraj produces at least five times more diverse trajectories for hinge and slider tasks compared to baseline methods, and demonstrates strong generalization across 30 articulations from the PartNetMobility dataset, averaging 704 trajectories per task. The resulting primitives are validated both in simulation and on real robots, with the code released publicly.
