This course offers an in-depth examination of the integration of deep learning techniques with robotic manipulation. In the real-world environment, successful robotic manipulation requires careful consideration of system-level designs spanning perception, dynamics, and decision-making modules. This course will investigate various robotic manipulation tasks across different horizons, encountering objects made of diverse materials ? from rigid to deformable, granular to cloth. We will provide an in-depth analysis of how state-of-the-art deep learning applications can equip robots with novel manipulation capabilities and discuss their advantages over classic approaches. The course will include paper reviews, hands-on projects, and insights into the principles behind state-of-the-art solutions.
