Robotics and Biology Lab Video

This video demonstrates some of the most recent work in the Robotics and Biology laboratory. The first part of this video shows a new approach towards motion planning and robot control (The Elastic Roadmap). The following three sequences show our framework for robot perception: Interactive Perception. In this framework, deliberate interactions in the environment are used to reveal new information, otherwise unavailable to the robot. The enriched perceptual stream is consequently used to ...

Grounded Relational Reinforcement Learning using Interactive Perception

This video demonstrates the use of Interactive Perception to gather and generalize manipulation knowledge. On top of our real-world robust skill for extracting kinematic information about articulated objects,the robot uses Relational Reinforcement Learning to capture its experience. As a result, our robot is able to gather and generalize knowledge about the best ways to interact with new objects.
Interactive Segmentation

Interactive segmentation is an approach towards object segmentation developed at the Robotics and Biology Laboratory. It is part of the Interactive Perception framework, in which deliberate interactions with the environment are employed in order to reveal information otherwise unavailable to the robot. In this case, the robot pushes new, previously unknown objects, to reveal their outline. As a result, the robot can separate between the various objects in a cluttered environment. This ...
