Disturbance-injected Robust Imitation Learning with Task Achievement

ICRA 2022poster

Robust imitation learning using disturbance injections overcomes issues of limited variation in demonstrations. However, these methods assume demonstrations are optimal, and that policy stabilization can be learned via simple augmentations. In real-world scenarios, demonstrations are often of divers…

Bayesian Disturbance Injection: Robust Imitation Learning of Flexible Policies

ICRA 2021poster

Scenarios requiring humans to choose from multiple seemingly optimal actions are commonplace, however standard imitation learning often fails to capture this behavior. Instead, an over-reliance on replicating expert actions induces inflexible and unstable policies, leading to poor generalizability i…

Shift-Adaptive Estimation of Joint Angle Using Instrumented Brace With Two Stretch Sensors Based on Gaussian Mixture Models

RA-L 2020

Wearable motion sensing in daily life has attracted attention in various disciplines. Especially, stretchable strain sensors have been instrumented into garments (e.g. brace). To estimate joint motions from such sensors, previous studies have modelled relationships between the sensor strains and mot

Improving Task-Parameterised Movement Learning Generalisation with Frame-Weighted Trajectory Generation

IROS 2019poster

Learning from Demonstration depends on a robot learner generalising its learned model to unseen conditions. Generally, it is not feasible for a person to provide demonstrations that account for all possible variations in non-trivial tasks. While there are many learning methods that can handle interp…

Embroidered Electrodes for Control of Affordable Myoelectric Prostheses

ICRA 2018poster

The low-cost manufacturing and maintenance of prostheses is of vital importance to their successful deployment in developing countries. Low-cost prosthesis actuation is generally achieved by combining pre-programmed control strategies, with surface-electromyographic measurements taken from the resid…
