📄 Happy to share our recent RA-L paper "Whole-body Inverse Dynamics MPC for Legged Loco-Manipulation"! We introduces a whole-body MPC framework that unifies motion and force planning within a single control layer, which enables physically consistent, emergent behaviors that

See Spot perform dynamic whole-body manipulation. Using a combination of reinforcement learning (RL) and sampling-based control, the robot is able to autonomously drag, roll, and stack tires weighing 15 kg (33 lb), well above its maximum arm lift capacity. Learn more about

Spot is playing Ping Pong! Spin is a crucial part of the game, but few robots can handle it. We show receiving and generating significant spin using MPC. Collaboration with David Nguyen and Zulfiqar Zaidi! Video: https://t.co/S3VKSHEfpW. Paper: https://t.co/r0yRW1JK3H.

Again, a huge congratulations to @yarden_as for his excellent leadership on this project. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have contributed alongside such a brilliant team. Witnessing the impact of theoretical advances on practical robotics was a truly rewarding experience.

"SPiDR" offers an elegant solution for training safe policies for sim-to-real transfer without needing any real-world data, making it versatile and easy to integrate with existing pipelines. You can learn more at the project website:

I'm thrilled to share "SPiDR: A Simple Approach for Zero-Shot Safety in Sim-to-Real Transfer" will be presented by Yarden As at #NeurIPS2025! I'm proud to have been part of the team behind this amazing project.

We also release some LaTeX sty and bib files used in the handbook. If you are writing an ICRA paper on SLAM, these should be useful. Visit our GitHub repo for details: https://t.co/HWffjGuz7B

We're organizing a workshop at humanoids about RL and model based control. Please submit an extended abstract for the poster session!!

After an incredible journey completing my PhD, I’m starting my next chapter as a research scientist at @rai_inst. I am excited to join the amazing team and contribute to the mission of creating the next generations of intelligent robots.

@gabe_mrgl @kevin_zakka Excited to see you all at future conferences and continue to advance this field together.

A huge thank you also goes to the amazing roboticist friends I've met along the way. I'm so grateful to those who didn't hesitate to share their wisdom, even when we had just met. Thank you, @gabe_mrgl and @kevin_zakka for your kind help and advice!

I have successfully defended my dissertation "Animal Motion Imitation For Adaptive and Lifelike Control of Legged Robots" at ETH Zurich. A huge thanks to my supervisors, committee members, amazing collaborators, and peers at CRL @crl_ethz who made this possible!

Researchers from RAI Institute present Diffuse-CLoC, a new control policy that fuses kinematic motion diffusion models with physics-based control to produce motions that are both physically realistic and precisely controllable. This breakthrough moves us closer to developing
