Controlling robotic devices to perform tasks

Abstract

A method for controlling a robotic device to perform a task may include determining a force measurement corresponding to a section of sensors coupled with a digit of a plurality of digits of a robotic device. The force measurement may include a magnitude of a force and a position of a centroid of the force in the section that are determined based on contact with an object corresponding to a time. The method may further include determining a digit position of the digit corresponding to the time, and moving the digit, based on a prediction, to stabilize the object to perform a task. A machine learning model can generate the prediction based on the force measurement and the digit position. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
