Abstract
Methods and systems for training a robotic manipulator. The system may include one or more sensor devices and a robotic manipulator for executing an item grasping strategy to grasp an item. The system may further evaluate the item grasping strategy to determine whether the strategy was successful.
Claims22
A method of training a robotic manipulator, the method comprising:
- receiving data regarding an item from a first sensor device;
- generating, using a processing device executing instructions stored on a memory to provide a planning module, an item grasping strategy to be executed by the robotic manipulator to obtain an initial grasp on the item, wherein the item grasping strategy is defined by a probability parameter that is related to a number of previous initial grasp attempts;
- transmitting, to a robotic manipulator for execution, the item grasping strategy;
- receiving data regarding the execution of the item grasping strategy from a second sensor device;
- and
- evaluating the item grasping strategy using the planning module and the data received from at least a second sensor device.

A system for training a robotic manipulator, the system comprising:
- a robotic manipulator for grasping an item;
- a first sensor device for gathering data regarding the item;
- a second sensor device for gathering data regarding the execution of the item grasping strategy;
- a processing device executing instructions stored on a memory to provide a planning module configured to:
- generate an item grasping strategy to be executed by the robotic manipulator to obtain an initial grasp on the item, wherein the item grasping strategy is defined by a probability parameter that is related to a number of previous initial grasp attempts,
- transmit the item grasping strategy to a robotic manipulator for execution;
- and
- evaluate the item grasping strategy executed by the robotic manipulator using data received from the second sensor device.
