Our work, "A Primer on SO(3) Action Representations in Deep Reinforcement Learning," was accepted to #ICLR2026! We provide a systematic study of action representation choices in RL, showing that they fundamentally impact training stability and performance. #Robotics #AI #RL

Jack, a wheeled #robot from our university, navigates crowds by predicting people’s paths and adjusting 10 times per second. Rather than stopping, it adapts smoothly to avoid collisions: go.tum.de/528400 #RoboticsInstituteGermany #AutonomousVehicles #AI 📷A. Eckert

Did you know a robot can push an object along a given path using *only* the measured contact force between itself and the object to sense the object? We explore this idea in our recent IEEE RA-L paper. Video: tiny.cc/force-push Paper: doi.org/10.1109/LRA.2024.341…

xacro cleans up URDF files, but compiling xacro files back to URDF is kind of annoying. xacrodoc let's you compile xacro files to URDF programmatically in Python - no ROS required. github.com/adamheins/xacrodo…

I got interviewed by @ETH_en Globe magazine: “Control engineering is based on feedback between the physical world and the world of algorithms. Whether we realise it or not, automation via feedback loops is part of our daily lives.”
"New developments such as quantum technology will also require new approaches in automation technology" says Florian Dörfler in an interview ETH Zurich magazine Globe. 📰 fal.cn/3A2Gk #ControlEngineering @florian_dorfler
