A Unified Model for Motion-Conditioned Robot Co-design
- Transformer Transformer Huy Ha, Karen Liu, Shuran Song Not all robots are created equal Not all robots are created equal — but what if you could design one for a specific task?
- We propose Transformer Transformer, a unified model that does exactly this: hand it a manipulation demonstration, and it generates a complete robot — every link, joint, motor, and inertial property — optimized for that motion.
- We fabricated one such design for cloth flinging on an ALOHA2 bimanual platform; it reduced tracking error by 73% and max joint speed by 30% versus the original.
