Iterative learning of grasp adaptation through human corrections
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the context of object interaction and manipulation, one characteristic of a robust grasp is its ability to comply with external perturbations applied to the grasped object while still maintaining the grasp. In this work we introduce an approach for grasp adaptation which learns a statistical model to adapt hand posture solely based on the perceived contact between the object and fingers. Using a multi-step learning procedure, the model dataset is built by first demonstrating an initial hand posture, which is then physically corrected by a human teacher pressing on the fingertips, exploiting compliance in the robot hand. The learner then replays the resulting sequence of hand postures, to generate a dataset of posture-contact pairs that are not influenced by the touch of the teacher. A key feature of this work is that the learned model may be further refined by repeating the correction-replay steps. Alternatively, the model may be reused in the development of new models, characterized by the contact signatures of a different object. Our approach is empirically validated on the iCub robot. We demonstrate grasp adaptation in response to changes in contact, and show successful model reuse and improved adaptation with additional rounds of model refinement.

Policy Adaptation through Tactile Correction
Behavior adaptation based on execution experience can be a practical tool to increase the robustness of a robot behavior learned from demonstration. While demonstration learning is a powerful technique for the development of robot behaviors, in general development remains a challenge. This work presents an approach for policy improvement through a tactile interface located on the body of the ro...
متن کاملA Brief Overview of Human and Robot Motor Learning
Motor learning in humans has been studied mostly through adaptation in motor tasks (by introducing perturbation in a task). Motor adaptation tasks include arm reaching movements, finger grasps and aiming tasks [1]. Perturbation are introduced in reaching or aiming movements using either force fields or visuomotor transformations. Various computational approaches have been proposed to model cont...
متن کاملTeaching Robots to Grasp through a User Friendly Interface
One characteristic of a robust grasp is its ability to comply with external perturbations applied to the grasped object while still maintaining the grasp. We achieve this goal by taking a 3-steps approach: (1) compute a variety of stable grasps adapted to different tasks, (2) learn a model that allows the hand to adapt to external perturbations and (3) corroborate tactile information from the s...
