Robotic packaging of fresh leafy produce such as herbs and salads generally involves picking out a target mass from a pile or crate of plant material. Typically, for low-complexity parallel grippers, the weight picked can be controlled by varying the opening aperture. However, often individual stran…
This paper presents a programming by demonstration framework for teaching impedance modulation using human demonstrations. Physiologically, human stiffness and damping are coupled at the muscle level, restricting the ability to modulate impedance according to task demands. Robotic systems often do n…
Using Programming by Demonstration to teach robot learners generalisable skills relies on having effective human teachers. This paper aims to address two problems commonly observed in demonstration data sets that arise due to poor teaching strategies; undemonstrated states and ambiguous demonstratio…
