Journal ArticleDOI
Reinforcement learning and optimal adaptive control: An overview and implementation examples
TL;DR: An example of an implementation of a novel model-free Q-learning based discrete optimal adaptive controller for a humanoid robot arm that uses a novel adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) reinforcement learning (RL) approach to develop an optimal policy on-line.
Proceedings Article
Development of a tactile sensor based on biologically inspired edge encoding
TL;DR: Initial results presented here show the design to be a very capable, highly sensitive sensor as well as a very practical, affordable and scalable robotic fingertip.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A cooperative human-robot interaction system that has been specifically developed for portability between different humanoid platforms, by abstraction layers at the perceptual and motor interfaces is presented.
Book ChapterDOI
TACTIP - tactile fingertip device, texture analysis through optical tracking of skin features
TL;DR: Experimental results which confirm the ability to also identify textures of the TACTIP device are presented, achieved by measuring the vibration of the in-built human-like skin features in relation to textured profiles.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
TACTIP — Tactile fingertip device, challenges in reduction of size to ready for robot hand integration
TL;DR: The TACTIP project as discussed by the authors demonstrated a prototype tactile fingertip device, at a little over twice the diameter(40mm) of a human fingertip (16-20mm).
