We address the challenging problem of robotic grasping and manipulation in the presence of uncertainty. This uncertainty is due to noisy sensing, inaccurate models and hard-to-predict environment dynamics. We quantify the importance of continuous, real-time perception and its tight integration with reactive motion generation methods in dynamic manipulation scenarios. We compare three different systems that are instantiations of the most common architectures in the field: (i) a traditional sense-plan-act approach that is still widely used, (ii) a myopic controller that only reacts to local environment dynamics and (iii) a reactive planner that integrates feedback control and motion optimization. All architectures rely on the same components for real-time perception and reactive motion generation to allow a quantitative evaluation. We extensively evaluate the systems on a real robotic platform in four scenarios that exhibit either a challenging workspace geometry or a dynamic environment. In 333 experiments, we quantify the robustness and accuracy that is due to integrating real-time feedback at different time scales in a reactive motion generation system. We also report on the lessons learned for system building.

Reactive motion generation problems are usually solved by computing actions as a sum of policies. However, these policies are independent of each other and thus, they can have conflicting behaviors when summing their contributions together. We introd uce Composable Energy Policies (CEP), a novel framework for modular reactive motion generation. CEP computes the control action by optimization over the product of a set of stochastic policies. This product of policies will provide a high probability to those actions that satisfy all the components and low probability to the others. Optimizing over the product of the policies avoids the detrimental effect of conflicting behaviors between policies choosing an action that satisfies all the objectives. Besides, we show that CEP naturally adapts to the Reinforcement Learning problem allowing us to integrate, in a hierarchical fashion, any distribution as prior, from multimodal distributions to non-smooth distributions and learn a new policy given them.

Real-time motion planning is a vital function of robotic systems. Different from existing roadmap algorithms which first determine the free space and then determine the collision-free path, researchers recently proposed several convex relaxation base d smoothing algorithms which first select an initial path to link the starting configuration and the goal configuration and then reshape this path to meet other requirements (e.g., collision-free conditions) by using convex relaxation. However, convex relaxation based smoothing algorithms often fail to give a satisfactory path, since the initial paths are selected randomly. Moreover, the curvature constraints were not considered in the existing convex relaxation based smoothing algorithms. In this paper, we show that we can first grid the whole configuration space to pick a candidate path and reshape this shortest path to meet our goal. This new algorithm inherits the merits of the roadmap algorithms and the convex feasible set algorithm. We further discuss how to meet the curvature constraints by using both the Beamlet algorithm to select a better initial path and an iterative optimization algorithm to adjust the curvature of the path. Theoretical analyzing and numerical testing results show that it can almost surely find a feasible path and use much less time than the recently proposed convex feasible set algorithm.
Rotating Snakes is a visual illusion in which a stationary design is perceived to move dramatically. In the current study, the mechanism that generates perception of motion was analyzed using a combination of psychophysics experiments and deep neural network models that mimic human vision. We prepared three- and four-color illusion-like designs with a wide range of luminance and measured their strength of induced rotational motion. As a result, we discovered the fundamental law that the effect of the four-color snake rotation illusion was successfully enhanced by the combination of two perceptual motion vectors produced by the two three-color designs. In years to come, deep neural network technology will be one of the most effective tools not only for engineering applications but also for human perception research.
We introduce a real-time, constrained, nonlinear Model Predictive Control for the motion planning of legged robots. The proposed approach uses a constrained optimal control algorithm known as SLQ. We improve the efficiency of this algorithm by introd ucing a multi-processing scheme for estimating value function in its backward pass. This pass has been often calculated as a single process. This parallel SLQ algorithm can optimize longer time horizons without proportional increase in its computation time. Thus, our MPC algorithm can generate optimized trajectories for the next few phases of the motion within only a few milliseconds. This outperforms the state of the art by at least one order of magnitude. The performance of the approach is validated on a quadruped robot for generating dynamic gaits such as trotting.
This paper addresses the fast replanning problem in dynamic environments with moving obstacles. Since for randomly moving obstacles the future states are unpredictable, the proposed method, called SMARRT, reacts to obstacle motions and revises the pa th in real-time based on the current interfering obstacle state (i.e., position and velocity). SMARRT is fast and efficient and performs collision checking only on the partial path segment close to the robot within a feasibility checking horizon. If the path is infeasible, then tree parts associated with the path inside the horizon are pruned while maintaining the maximal tree structure of already-explored regions. Then, a multi-resolution utility map is created to capture the environmental information used to compute the replanning utility for each cell on the multi-scale tiling. A hierarchical searching method is applied on the map to find the sampling cell efficiently. Finally, uniform samples are drawn within the sampling cell for fast replanning. The SMARRT method is validated via simulation runs, and the results are evaluated in comparison to four existing methods. The SMARRT method yields significant improvements in travel time, replanning time, and success rate compared against the existing methods.
