      Brief
      • MERL made significant contributions to both the organization and the technical program of the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2025, which was held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, from May 19th to May 23rd.

        MERL was a Bronze sponsor of the conference, and MERL researchers chaired four sessions in the areas of Manipulation Planning, Human-Robot Collaboration, Diffusion Policy, and Learning for Robot Control.

        MERL researchers presented four papers in the main conference on the topics of contact-implicit trajectory optimization, proactive robotic assistance in human-robot collaboration, diffusion policy with human preferences, and dynamic and model learning of robotic manipulators. In addition, five more papers were presented in the workshops: “Structured Learning for Efficient, Reliable, and Transparent Robots,” “Safely Leveraging Vision-Language Foundation Models in Robotics: Challenges and Opportunities,” “Long-term Human Motion Prediction,” and “The Future of Intelligent Manufacturing: From Innovation to Implementation.”

        MERL researcher Diego Romeres delivered an invited talk titled “Dexterous Robotics: From Multimodal Sensing to Real-World Physical Interactions.”

        MERL also collaborated with the University of Padua on one of the conference’s challenges: the “3rd AI Olympics with RealAIGym” (https://ai-olympics.dfki-bremen.de).

        During the conference, MERL researchers received the IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering Best New Application Paper Award for their paper titled “Smart Actuation for End-Edge Industrial Control Systems.”

    •  TALK    [MERL Seminar Series 2025] Dick den Hertog presents talk titled Optimizing the Path Towards Plastic-Free Oceans
      Date & Time: Tuesday, March 11, 2025; 12:00 PM
      Speaker: Dick den Hertog, University of Amsterdam
      MERL Host: Arvind Raghunathan
      Research Areas: Data Analytics, Optimization
      Abstract
      • Increasing ocean plastic pollution is irreversibly harming ecosystems and human economic activities. We partner with a nonprofit organization and use optimization to help clean up oceans from plastic faster. Specifically, we optimize the route of their plastic collection system in the ocean to maximize the quantity of plastic collected over time. We formulate the problem as a longest path problem in a well-structured graph. However, because collection directly impacts future plastic density, the corresponding edge lengths are nonlinear polynomials. After analyzing the structural properties of the edge lengths, we propose a search-and-bound method, which leverages a relaxation of the problem solvable via dynamic programming and clustering, to efficiently find high-quality solutions (within 6% optimal in practice) and develop a tailored branch-and-bound strategy to solve it to provable optimality. On one year of ocean data, our optimization-based routing approach increases the quantity of plastic collected by more than 60% compared with the current routing strategy, hence speeding up the progress toward plastic-free oceans.
