Composing Dextrous Grasping and In-hand Manipulation via Scoring with a Reinforcement Learning Critic

Lennart Röstel, Dominik Winkelbauer, Johannes Pitz +2

In-hand manipulation and grasping are fundamental yet often separately addressed tasks in robotics. For deriving in-hand manipulation policies, reinforcement learning has recently…

Learning Time-Optimal and Speed-Adjustable Tactile In-Hand Manipulation

Johannes Pitz, Lennart Röstel, Leon Sievers +1

In-hand manipulation with multi-fingered hands is a challenging problem that recently became feasible with the advent of deep reinforcement learning methods. While most contributio…

Learning a Shape-Conditioned Agent for Purely Tactile In-Hand Manipulation of Various Objects

Johannes Pitz, Lennart Röstel, Leon Sievers +2

Reorienting diverse objects with a multi-fingered hand is a challenging task. Current methods in robotic in-hand manipulation are either object-specific or require permanent superv…

Self-Contained and Automatic Calibration of a Multi-Fingered Hand Using Only Pairwise Contact Measurements

Johannes Tenhumberg, Leon Sievers, Berthold Bäuml

A self-contained calibration procedure that can be performed automatically without additional external sensors or tools is a significant advantage, especially for complex robotic s…

Dextrous Tactile In-Hand Manipulation Using a Modular Reinforcement Learning Architecture

Johannes Pitz, Lennart Röstel, Leon Sievers +1

Dextrous in-hand manipulation with a multi-fingered robotic hand is a challenging task, esp. when performed with the hand oriented upside down, demanding permanent force-closure, a…

Learning Purely Tactile In-Hand Manipulation with a Torque-Controlled Hand

Leon Sievers, Johannes Pitz, Berthold Bäuml

We show that a purely tactile dextrous in-hand manipulation task with continuous regrasping, requiring permanent force closure, can be learned from scratch and executed robustly on…
