A fundamental challenge in visual reinforcement learning (RL) is achieving robust generalization across environments with varying visual distractions. Current RL methods struggle with generalization due to their inability to differentiate foreground and background features during augmentation,while
In this work, we propose a framework to address the autonomous impedance regulation problem of robots in a class of constrained manipulation tasks. In this framework, a human arm endpoint stiffness model is used to extract the task stiffness geometry along the constrained trajectory, which is then e
This work presents a unified approach for hybrid motion control of the Mobile Collaborative Robotic Assistant (MOCA). The objective is to develop a loco-manipulation controller, enabling various couplings of the arm and the mobile base movements, and particularly their purely decoupled motions. The
This letter presents a novel teleoperation interface that enables remote loco-manipulation control of a MObile Collaborative robotic Assistant (MOCA). MOCA is a new research platform developed at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), which is composed of a lightweight manipulator arm, a Pisa/II
In this paper, we propose a control framework for a multi-human and mobile-robot collaborative team, that takes into account the co-workers' ergonomic requirements as well as the demand for high flexibility in the manufacturing industries. The new MObile Collaborative robotic Assistant (MOCA), which…
