Current trends in reconfigurable modular robots design
Alberto Brunete,Avinash Ranganath,Sergio Segovia,Javier Pérez de Frutos,Miguel Hernando,E. Gambao +5 more
TL;DR: This article presents a review on trends in modular reconfigurable robots, comparing the evolution of the features of the most significant robots over the years and focusing on the latest designs.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Low Dimensional Motor Skill Learning Using Coactivation
TL;DR: By learning how to excite such coactivations using deep reinforcement learning, this work is able to train humanlike controllers using only a small number of dimensions, and demonstrates its flexibility against a variety of reward functions.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Gait generation through a feature based linear periodic function
Avinash Ranganath,Luis Moreno +1 more
TL;DR: By considering locomotion as a set of coordinated oscillations, a method for generating a wide variety of periodic linear gait trajectories is proposed, and these trajectories for producing stable and faster bipedal gait on the same humanoid robot are learned using Genetic Algorithm.
Motor Babble: Morphology-Driven Coordinated Control of Articulated Characters
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for learning locomotion for virtual characters in a low dimensional latent space which defines how different joints move together is presented, where a character interacts with its environment by actuating its joints through uncoordinated, low-level (motor) excitations, resulting in a corpus of motion data from which a manifold latent space is extracted.
