摘要

Non-prehensile robot manipulation is challenging due to discontinuous, long-horizon interactions between the robot and the objects it manipulates. Sampling-based model predictive control methods are effective with discontinuous contact but face challenges with finding promising trajectories in long-horizon planning. We propose a closed-loop object-informed (CLOI) method that splits the problem into object-level planning to find long-horizon object poses that lead the object to its goal, and robot-level planning to select robot actions that follow those poses. We use model predictive path integral (MPPI) control to solve the subproblems and couple their solutions through consensus on the object poses using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The object plan is revised toward robot-realizable object trajectories, while the robot plan is aligned with the object poses the task requires. In planar pushing tasks with obstacles using an xArm6 manipulator, CLOI increases the success rate by 35% in simulation and 43% on hardware, compared to standard MPPI given the same computational budget.
