— We have previously shown that hemispherical soft fingertips are at equilibrium when they are in contact with objects, suggesting that the contact force and flexibility of the...
In this paper, we propose a dynamic allocation method of basis functions, an Allocation/Elimination Gaussian Softmax Basis Function Network (AE-GSBFN), that is used in reinforcemen...
We experimented on task-level robot learning based on bi-directional theory. The via-point representation was used for ‘learning by watching’. In our previous work, we had a r...
We propose in this paper new redundancy-based solutions to avoid robot joint limits of a manipulator. We use a control scheme based on the task function approach. We first recall...
— In this paper we present a novel method for robot path planning based on learning motion patterns. A motion pattern is defined as the path that results from applying a set of ...
