Learning modular policies for robotics [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2014 A promising idea for scaling robot learning to more complex tasks is to use elemental behaviors as building blocks to compose more complex behavior. Ideally, such building blocks are used in combination with a learning algorithm that is able to learn to select, adapt, sequence and co-activate the building blocks.

The SMOOTH-Robot: A Modular, Interactive Service Robot [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021 The SMOOTH-robot is a mobile robot that—due to its modularity—combines a relatively low price with the possibility to be used for a large variety of tasks in a wide range of domains. In this article, we demonstrate the potential of the SMOOTH-robot through three use cases, two of which were performed in elderly care homes. The robot is designed so that

Gait emergence by discrete leg motion period control using contact signals and CPGs
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2021 Most living organisms need locomotion to achieve a series of goals, such as eating, escaping, and breeding. In short, locomotion refers to the periodic activities of various parts of the body and their coordination mechanisms, such as walking, jumping ...
