Augmenting Compliance With Motion Generation Through Imitation Learning Using Drop-Stitch Reinforced Inflatable Robot Arm With Rigid Joints

RA-L 2024

Safe physical human-robot collaboration is possible with soft robots due to their inherent compliance and low inertia. Soft bodies inherently possess passive compliance, providing adaptability in collaborative tasks because of their deformations; however, the same features add complexity to modeling

Modality Attention for Prediction-Based Robot Motion Generation: Improving Interpretability and Robustness of Using Multi-Modality

RA-L 2023

We developed a modality attention motion generation model on the basis of multi-modality prediction. This model provides interpretability about modality usage and demonstrates robustness against disturbances. We used a hierarchical model consisting of low-level recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for p

Multimodal Time Series Learning of Robots Based on Distributed and Integrated Modalities: Verification with a Simulator and Actual Robots

ICRA 2023poster

We have developed an autonomous robot motion generation model based on distributed and integrated multimodal learning. Since each modality used as a robot's senses, such as image, joint angle, and torque, has a different physical meaning and time characteristic, the generation of autonomous motions…

Visual Spatial Attention and Proprioceptive Data-Driven Reinforcement Learning for Robust Peg-in-Hole Task Under Variable Conditions

RA-L 2023

Anchor-bolt insertion is a peg-in-hole task performed in the construction field for holes in concrete. Efforts have been made to automate this task, but the variable lighting and hole surface conditions, as well as the requirements for short setup and task execution time make the automation challeng

Contact-Rich Manipulation of a Flexible Object based on Deep Predictive Learning using Vision and Tactility

ICRA 2022poster

We achieved contact-rich flexible object manipulation, which was difficult to control with vision alone. In the unzipping task we chose as a validation task, the gripper grasps the puller, which hides the bag state such as the direction and amount of deformation behind it, making it difficult to obt…

Deep Active Visual Attention for Real-Time Robot Motion Generation: Emergence of Tool-Body Assimilation and Adaptive Tool-Use

RA-L 2022

Sufficiently perceiving the environment is a critical factor in robot motion generation. Although the introduction of deep visual processing models have contributed in extending this ability, existing methods lack in the ability to actively modify what to perceive; humans perform internally during v

Integrated Learning of Robot Motion and Sentences: Real-Time Prediction of Grasping Motion and Attention based on Language Instructions

ICRA 2022poster

We propose a motion generation model that can achieve robust behavior against environmental changes based on language instructions at a low cost. Conventional robots that communicate with humans use a restricted environment and language to build up a mapping between language and motion, and thus nee…

Compensation for Undefined Behaviors During Robot Task Execution by Switching Controllers Depending on Embedded Dynamics in RNN

RA-L 2021

Robotic applications require both correct task performance and compensation for undefined behaviors. Although deep learning is a promising approach to perform complex tasks, the response to undefined behaviors that are not reflected in the training dataset remains challenging. In a human-robot colla

Embodying Pre-Trained Word Embeddings Through Robot Actions

RA-L 2021

We propose a promising neural network model with which to acquire a grounded representation of robot actions and the linguistic descriptions thereof. Properly responding to various linguistic expressions, including polysemous words, is an important ability for robots that interact with people via li

In-air Knotting of Rope using Dual-Arm Robot based on Deep Learning

IROS 2021poster

In this study, we report the successful execution of in-air knotting of rope using a dual-arm two-finger robot based on deep learning. Owing to its flexibility, the state of the rope was in constant flux during the operation of the robot. This required the robot control system to dynamically corresp…

Wiping 3D-objects using Deep Learning Model based on Image/Force/Joint Information

IROS 2020poster

We propose a deep learning model for a robot to wipe 3D-objects. Wiping of 3D-objects requires recognizing the shapes of objects and planning the motor angle adjustments for tracing the objects. Unlike previous research, our learning model does not require pre-designed computational models of target…

Learning Multiple Sensorimotor Units to Complete Compound Tasks using an RNN with Multiple Attractors

IROS 2019poster

As the complexity of the robot's tasks increases, we can consider many general tasks in a compound form that consists of shorter tasks. Therefore, for robots to generate various tasks, they need to be able to execute shorter tasks in succession, appropriately to the situation. With the design princi…

Put-in-Box Task Generated from Multiple Discrete Tasks by aHumanoid Robot Using Deep Learning

ICRA 2018poster

For robots to have a wide range of applications, they must be able to execute numerous tasks. However, recent studies into robot manipulation using deep neural networks (DNN) have primarily focused on single tasks. Therefore, we investigate a robot manipulation model that uses DNNs and can execute l…
