Learning soft task priorities for control of redundant robots
2016
2016 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)
One of the key problems in planning and control of redundant robots is the fast generation of controls when multiple tasks and constraints need to be satisfied. ...
We show the effectiveness of the proposed method on a simulated 7 DOF Kuka LWR and both a simulated and a real Kinova Jaco arm. ...
INTRODUCTION Exploiting the redundancy in robotic systems to simultaneously fulfil a set of tasks is a classical problem for complex manipulators and humanoid robots [1] , [2] . ...

Learning visual object detection and localisation using icVision
2013
Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures
We present a framework combining computer vision and machine learning for the learning of object recognition in humanoid robots. ...
A biologically inspired, bottom-up architecture is introduced to facilitate visual perception and cognitve robotics research. A number of experiments with this icVision framework are described. ...
As the cameras are mounted in the head of the robot the method for localisation must be able to cope with motion to work even while the robot is controlling its gaze and upper body for reaching. ...

Optimization based exploitation of the ankle elasticity of HRP-2 for overstepping large obstacles
2014
2014 IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots
This paper proposes a new generic strategy to investigate the dynamic limits of the humanoid robot HRP-2 based on whole body optimal control optimization. ...
This study is further supported by real experiments on the HRP-2 14 robotic platform and we could successfully extend the present maximum of a dynamically overstepped obstacle to 20cm (height) x 11cm ( ...
