Recasts sampling-based nonconvex optimization as smoothed gradient descent to obtain non-asymptotic convergence guarantees and introduces the DIDA annealed algorithm that converges to the global optimum.
Test-time steering of pre-trained whole-body policies via sample-based planning lets legged robots generalize dynamic loco-manipulation to varied heavy objects and tasks without additional training or tuning.
