"Knowledge distillation transfers the knowledge from a cumbersome teacher to a small student. Recent results suggest that the student-friendly teacher is more appropriate to distill since it provides more transferrable knowledge. In this work, we propose the novel framework, “prune, then distill,” t…
Robots operating in close proximity to humans require fast and reliable detection of collisions, which can range from sharp impacts (hard collisions) to pulling-pushing-catching motions (soft collisions). Because joint torque sensors can be costly, the external joint torques caused by collisions are
A neural network for generating coordinated reach-grasp motions is proposed, based on a type of generative neural network called the conditional restricted Boltzmann machine (CRBM). Given demonstrations of humans reaching and grasping various target objects of different shapes and poses, a mixture-t
