Combining Performance and Passivity in Linear Control of Series Elastic Actuators
Shaunak A. Mehta, Dylan P. Losey
When humans physically interact with robots, we need the robots to be both safe and performant. Series elastic actuators (SEAs) fundamentally advance safety by introducing complian…
L2D2: Robot Learning from 2D Drawings
Shaunak A. Mehta, Heramb Nemlekar, Hari Sumant +1
Robots should learn new tasks from humans. But how do humans convey what they want the robot to do? Existing methods largely rely on humans physically guiding the robot arm through…
Stable-BC: Controlling Covariate Shift with Stable Behavior Cloning
Shaunak A. Mehta, Yusuf Umut Ciftci, Balamurugan Ramachandran +2
Behavior cloning is a common imitation learning paradigm. Under behavior cloning the robot collects expert demonstrations, and then trains a policy to match the actions taken by th…
Combining and Decoupling Rigid and Soft Grippers to Enhance Robotic Manipulation
Maya Keely, Yeunhee Kim, Shaunak A. Mehta +6
For robot arms to perform everyday tasks in unstructured environments, these robots must be able to manipulate a diverse range of objects. Today's robots often grasp objects with e…
Waypoint-Based Reinforcement Learning for Robot Manipulation Tasks
Shaunak A. Mehta, Soheil Habibian, Dylan P. Losey
Robot arms should be able to learn new tasks. One framework here is reinforcement learning, where the robot is given a reward function that encodes the task, and the robot autonomo…
