| - | ==== Transferring grasping skills from humans to robots ==== | ||
| - | **Brian Moore, Ph.D.** | ||
| - | |||
| - | Wednesday May 25 2011, 12:00-13:00 | ||
| - | ICT Building, Seminar Room 1 | ||

| - | === Abstract === | ||
| - | We have recently proposed a framework for robot skill synthesis that | ||
| - | exploits human sensorimotor learning capability. The idea is to consider | ||
| - | the target robot platform as a tool that is intuitively controlled by a | ||
| - | human. Once the robot can be effortlessly controlled, the successful | ||
| - | execution of a task by the human via the robot provides learning data | ||
| - | points that are used for designing controllers that operate autonomously. | ||
| - | In the experiments, the operator directly controls the | ||
| - | (simulated) robot using visual feedback to achieve robust grasping with | ||
| - | the robot. The data collected is then analyzed for inferring the | ||
| - | grasping strategy discovered by the human operator. Finally a method to | ||
| - | generalize grasping actions using the collected data is presented, which | ||
| - | allows the robot to autonomously generate grasping actions for different | ||
| - | orientations of the target object. This work is a joint work with Erhan | ||
| - | Oztop from ATR, Japan. | ||

| - | === Short bio === | ||
| - | Between 2000 and 2003, Brian Moore has been working on the modeling, | ||
| - | simulation and validation of space robots at the Canadian Space Agency. | ||
| - | After being consultant for two years in the automotive industry in | ||
| - | southern Germany, he earned his Ph.D. in 2009 from the Johannes Kepler | ||
| - | University working on the design of dynamically balanced linkages. | ||
| - | During this period, he was a member of the Research Institute for | ||
| - | Symbolic Computation (RISC) and a research scientist at the Radon | ||
| - | Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM) of the | ||
| - | Austrian Academy of Sciences. He then spent over a year as a JSPS | ||
| - | postdoctoral fellow at the ATR Cognitive Mechanisms Laboratories in | ||
| - | Japan working mainly on human-like robot grasping in collaboration with | ||
| - | Erhan Oztop. He is now a researcher in the robotic lab at Laval University | ||
| - | in Québec, Canada. | ||
