TriFinger: An Open-Source Robot for Learning Dexterity
Manuel Wüthrich, Felix Widmaier, Felix Grimminger +12
Dexterous object manipulation remains an open problem in robotics, despite the rapid progress in machine learning during the past decade. We argue that a hindrance is the high cost…
Learning to Play Table Tennis From Scratch using Muscular Robots
Dieter Büchler, Simon Guist, Roberto Calandra +3
Dynamic tasks like table tennis are relatively easy to learn for humans but pose significant challenges to robots. Such tasks require accurate control of fast movements and precise…
Safe and Fast Tracking on a Robot Manipulator: Robust MPC and Neural Network Control
Julian Nubert, Johannes Köhler, Vincent Berenz +2
Fast feedback control and safety guarantees are essential in modern robotics. We present an approach that achieves both by combining novel robust model predictive control (MPC) wit…
An Open Torque-Controlled Modular Robot Architecture for Legged Locomotion Research
Felix Grimminger, Avadesh Meduri, Majid Khadiv +10
We present a new open-source torque-controlled legged robot system, with a low-cost and low-complexity actuator module at its core. It consists of a high-torque brushless DC motor…
Learning Sensory-Motor Associations from Demonstration
Vincent Berenz, Ahmed Bjelic, Lahiru Herath +1
We propose a method which generates reactive robot behavior learned from human demonstration. In order to do so, we use the Playful programming language which is based on the react…
