Beyond Pick-and-Place: Towards Dynamic and Contact-rich Motor Skills with Reinforcement Learning

NSH 3305

Abstract: Interactions with the physical world are at the core of robotics. However, robotics research, especially in manipulation, has been mainly focused on tasks with limited interactions with the physical world such as pick-and-place or pushing objects on the table top. These interactions are often quasi-static, have predefined or limited sequence of contact events and [...]
