Reactive User-Guided Path Planning for Visual-Servoing Adaptation

2023-2024, TUM, Munich

Imitation learning promises to allow humans to teach robots tasks simply through demonstration. Traditional methods, relying on visual or kinesthetic teaching, have been limited to guiding robots along a single, static trajectory. This often results in the robot's end-effector colliding with objects, especially when navigating between start and goal poses. Our research introduces an innovative approach: visual servoing with online adaptation of key points and end-goals. This method enhances the robot's capability to handle dynamic tasks, such as moving objects, by allowing for multiple trajectories and supporting iterative learning through on-the-fly demonstrations. This adaptability is crucial in real-world applications where conditions and tasks can vary significantly. The main goal of our project is to develop an adaptive system for Learning by Demonstration (LbD) that is both user-friendly and capable of real-time, reactive planning based on user demonstrations. Our approach extends traditional LbD by incorporating real-time visual servoing, overcoming its limitations in adaptability and responsiveness. By enabling robots to learn from multiple demonstrations and adapt to changes in their environment, we aim to create a system that can handle a wide range of tasks, from moving cups to grasping objects on the move. This system will be equipped to deal with the unpredictability of real-world scenarios, including object movement and human intervention, making robots more flexible and accessible for everyday applications.
