One embodiment of a method for controlling a robot includes receiving sensor data associated with an environment that includes an object; applying a machine learning model to a portion of the sensor data associated with the object and one or more trajectories of motion of the robot to determine one or more path lengths of the one or more trajectories; generating a new trajectory of motion of the robot based on the one or more trajectories and the one or more path lengths; and causing the robot to perform one or more movements based on the new trajectory.

Techniques for robot control using neural implicit value functions

One common robotic task is the rearrangement of physical objects situated in an environment. This typically involves a robot manipulator picking up a target object and placing the target object in some target location, such as a shelf, cabinet or cubby, and requires the skills of picking, placing and generating complex collision-free motions, oftentimes in a cluttered environment. The present disclosure provides collision detection for object rearrangement using a three-dimensional (3D) scene representation.

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques determine a set of grasp poses that would allow a robot to successfully grasp an object that is proximate to at least one additional object. In at least one embodiment, the set of grasp poses is modified based on a determination that at least one of the grasp poses in the set of grasp poses would interfere with at least one additional object that is proximate to the object.
