Learning from Demonstration (LfD) provides an intuitive and fast approach to program robotic manipulators. Task parameterized representations allow easy adaptation to new scenes and online observations. However, this approach has been limited to pose-only demonstrations and thus only skills with spatial and temporal features. In this work, we extend the LfD framework to address forceful manipulation skills, which are of great importance for industrial processes such as assembly. For such skills, multi-modal demonstrations including robot end-effector poses, force and torque readings, and operation scene are essential. Our objective is to reproduce such skills reliably according to the demonstrated pose and force profiles within different scenes. The proposed method combines our previous work on task-parameterized optimization and attractor-based impedance control. The learned skill model consists of (i) the attractor model that unifies the pose and force features, and (ii) the stiffness model that optimizes the stiffness for different stages of the skill. Furthermore, an online execution algorithm is proposed to adapt the skill execution to real-time observations of robot poses, measured forces, and changed scenes. We validate this method rigorously on a 7-DoF robot arm over several steps of an E-bike motor assembly process, which require different types of forceful interaction such as insertion, sliding and twisting.
Imitating human demonstrations is a promising approach to endow robots with various manipulation capabilities. While recent advances have been made in imitation learning and batch (offline) reinforcement learning, a lack of open-source human datasets
Multi-stage forceful manipulation tasks, such as twisting a nut on a bolt, require reasoning over interlocking constraints over discrete as well as continuous choices. The robot must choose a sequence of discrete actions, or strategy, such as whether
Learning from Demonstration (LfD) is a popular approach to endowing robots with skills without having to program them by hand. Typically, LfD relies on human demonstrations in clutter-free environments. This prevents the demonstrations from being aff
Everyday contact-rich tasks, such as peeling, cleaning, and writing, demand multimodal perception for effective and precise task execution. However, these present a novel challenge to robots as they lack the ability to combine these multimodal stimul
This work provides an architecture that incorporates depth and tactile information to create rich and accurate 3D models useful for robotic manipulation tasks. This is accomplished through the use of a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN). Offline,
