Accelerating Robot Learning of Contact-Rich Manipulations: A Curriculum Learning Study
Cristian C. Beltran-Hernandez, Damien Petit, Ixchel G. Ramirez-Alpizar +1
The Reinforcement Learning (RL) paradigm has been an essential tool for automating robotic tasks. Despite the advances in RL, it is still not widely adopted in the industry due to…
Assembly Planning by Recognizing a Graphical Instruction Manual
Issei Sera, Natsuki Yamanobe, Ixchel G. Ramirez-Alpizar +3
This paper proposes a robot assembly planning method by automatically reading the graphical instruction manuals design for humans. Essentially, the method generates an Assembly Tas…
Variable Compliance Control for Robotic Peg-in-Hole Assembly: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach
Cristian C. Beltran-Hernandez, Damien Petit, Ixchel G. Ramirez-Alpizar +1
Industrial robot manipulators are playing a more significant role in modern manufacturing industries. Though peg-in-hole assembly is a common industrial task which has been extensi…
Team O2AS at the World Robot Summit 2018: An Approach to Robotic Kitting and Assembly Tasks using General Purpose Grippers and Tools
Felix von Drigalski, Chisato Nakashima, Yoshiya Shibata +12
We propose a versatile robotic system for kitting and assembly tasks which uses no jigs or commercial tool changers. Instead of specialized end effectors, it uses its two-finger gr…
Learning Force Control for Contact-rich Manipulation Tasks with Rigid Position-controlled Robots
Cristian Camilo Beltran-Hernandez, Damien Petit, Ixchel G. Ramirez-Alpizar +4
Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods have been proven successful in solving manipulation tasks autonomously. However, RL is still not widely adopted on real robotic systems because…
Tool Exchangeable Grasp/Assembly Planner
Kensuke Harada, Kento Nakayama, Weiwei Wan +3
This paper proposes a novel assembly planner for a manipulator which can simultaneously plan assembly sequence, robot motion, grasping configuration, and exchange of grippers. Our…
