ABSTRACT

Techniques are disclosed that enable model predictive control of a robot based
on a latent dynamics model and a reward function. In many implementations, the
latent space can be divided into a deterministic portion and stochastic
portion, allowing the model to be utilized in generating more likely robot
trajectories. Additional or alternative implementations include many reward
functions, where each reward function corresponds to a different robot task.
