Learning an internal representation of the end-effector configuration space

Machine Learning 2018-10-05 v1 Robotics Machine Learning

Abstract

Current machine learning techniques proposed to automatically discover a robot kinematics usually rely on a priori information about the robot's structure, sensors properties or end-effector position. This paper proposes a method to estimate a certain aspect of the forward kinematics model with no such information. An internal representation of the end-effector configuration is generated from unstructured proprioceptive and exteroceptive data flow under very limited assumptions. A mapping from the proprioceptive space to this representational space can then be used to control the robot.
