Learning Forceful Manipulation Skills from Multi-modal Human Demonstrations
An T. Le, Meng Guo, Niels van Duijkeren +4
Learning from Demonstration (LfD) provides an intuitive and fast approach to program robotic manipulators. Task parameterized representations allow easy adaptation to new scenes an…
Supervised Training of Dense Object Nets using Optimal Descriptors for Industrial Robotic Applications
Andras Kupcsik, Markus Spies, Alexander Klein +4
Dense Object Nets (DONs) by Florence, Manuelli and Tedrake (2018) introduced dense object descriptors as a novel visual object representation for the robotics community. It is suit…
Learning and Sequencing of Object-Centric Manipulation Skills for Industrial Tasks
Leonel Rozo, Meng Guo, Andras G. Kupcsik +8
Enabling robots to quickly learn manipulation skills is an important, yet challenging problem. Such manipulation skills should be flexible, e.g., be able adapt to the current works…
Factored Contextual Policy Search with Bayesian Optimization
Robert Pinsler, Peter Karkus, Andras Kupcsik +2
Scarce data is a major challenge to scaling robot learning to truly complex tasks, as we need to generalize locally learned policies over different task contexts. Contextual policy…
Learning Dynamic Robot-to-Human Object Handover from Human Feedback
Andras Kupcsik, David Hsu, Wee Sun Lee
Object handover is a basic, but essential capability for robots interacting with humans in many applications, e.g., caring for the elderly and assisting workers in manufacturing wo…
