Learning Throwing and Catching Skills
Conference Paper, Proceedings of (IROS) IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, pp. 5167 - 5168, October, 2012
Abstract
In this video, we present approaches for learning throwing and catching skills. We first show how a hitting skill (i.e., table tennis) can be learned using a combination of imitation and reinforcement learning. This hitting skill is subsequently generalized to a catching skill. Secondly, we show how a robot can adapt a throwing skill to new targets. Finally, we demonstrate that a BioRob and a Barrett WAM can play catch together using the previously acquired skills.
