Learning variable impedance control [PDF]
One of the hallmarks of the performance, versatility, and robustness of biological motor control is the ability to adapt the impedance of the overall biomechanical system to different task requirements and stochastic disturbances. A transfer of this principle to robotics is desirable, for instance to enable robots to work robustly ...

Learning Variable Impedance Control for Contact Sensitive Tasks [PDF]
Reinforcement learning algorithms have shown great success in solving different problems ranging from playing video games to robotics. However, they struggle to solve delicate robotic problems, especially those involving contact interactions. Though in principle a policy directly outputting joint torques should be able to learn to perform these tasks ...

Learning From Demonstration and Interactive Control of Variable-Impedance to Cut Soft Tissues [PDF]
In this article, we propose an approach to extract variable-impedance during cutting tasks from human demonstrations, so as to ease soft-tissue cutting by robots. We model the dynamic adjustment of the human arm during interactions with the tissue and transfer these adaptive capabilities to the robot, by learning both the motion and change of impedance.
