SYSTEM AND DESIGN OF DERIVATIVE-FREE MODEL LEARNING FOR ROBOTIC SYSTEMS

摘要

A manipulator learning-control apparatus for controlling a manipulating system that includes an interface configured to receive manipulator state signals of the manipulating system and object state signals with respect to an object to be manipulated by the manipulating system in a workspace, wherein the object state signals are detected by at least one object detector, an output interface configured to transmit initial and updated policy programs to the manipulating system, a memory to store computer-executable programs including a data preprocess program, object state history data, manipulator state history data, a Derivative-Free Semi-parametric Gaussian Process (DF-SPGP) kernel learning program, a Derivative-Free Semi-parametric Gaussian Process (DF-SPGP) model learning program, an update-policy program and an initial policy program, and a processor, in connection with the memory, configured to transmit the initial policy program to the manipulating system for initiating a learning process that operates the manipulator system manipulating the object while a preset period of time.
