The utility of tactile force to autonomous learning of in-hand manipulation is task-dependent

no code implementations5 Feb 2020 Romina Mir, Ali Marjaninejad, Francisco J. Valero-Cuevas

Surprisingly, and contrary to recent work on manipulation, adding 1D force-sensing did not always improve learning rates compared to no sensing---likely due to whether or not normal force is relevant to the task.

Simple Kinematic Feedback Enhances Autonomous Learning in Bio-Inspired Tendon-Driven Systems

1 code implementation10 Jul 2019 Ali Marjaninejad, Darío Urbina-Meléndez, Francisco J. Valero-Cuevas

Error feedback is known to improve performance by correcting control signals in response to perturbations.

Autonomous Functional Locomotion in a Tendon-Driven Limb via Limited Experience

no code implementations19 Oct 2018 Ali Marjaninejad, Darío Urbina-Meléndez, Brian A. Cohn, Francisco J. Valero-Cuevas

Robots will become ubiquitously useful only when they can use few attempts to teach themselves to perform different tasks, even with complex bodies and in dynamical environments.
