Grasping POMDPs: Theory and Experiments

چکیده
Abstract— We describe a method for planning under uncertainty for robotic manipulation of objects by partitioning the configuration space into a set of regions that are closed under compliant motions. These regions can be treated as states in a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), which can be solved to yield optimal control policies under uncertainty. We demonstrate the approach on simple grasping problems, showing that it can construct highly robust, efficiently executable solutions. In this paper we describe some initial experimentation with a Barrett arm and a Barret hand, instrumented with some contact sensors of our own design. This paper is based on [7].

SARSOP: Efficient Point-Based POMDP Planning by Approximating Optimally Reachable Belief Spaces
Motion planning in uncertain and dynamic environments is an essential capability for autonomous robots. Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) provide a principled mathematical framework for solving such problems, but they are often avoided in robotics due to high computational complexity. Our goal is to create practical POMDP algorithms and software for common robotic tasks. T...
متن کاملDeterministic POMDPs Revisited
We study a subclass of POMDPs, called Deterministic POMDPs, that is characterized by deterministic actions and observations. These models do not provide the same generality of POMDPs yet they capture a number of interesting and challenging problems, and permit more efficient algorithms. Indeed, some of the recent work in planning is built around such assumptions mainly by the quest of amenable ...
متن کاملAn Investigation into Mathematical Programming for Finite Horizon Decentralized POMDPs
Decentralized planning in uncertain environments is a complex task generally dealt with by using a decision-theoretic approach, mainly through the framework of Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (DEC-POMDPs). Although DEC-POMDPS are a general and powerful modeling tool, solving them is a task with an overwhelming complexity that can be doubly exponential. In this paper...
متن کاملPlanning in Stochastic Domains: Problem Characteristics and Approximations (version Ii)
This paper is about planning in stochastic domains by means of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs). POMDPs are di cult to solve and approximation is a must in real-world applications. Approximation methods can be classi ed into those that solve a POMDP directly and those that approximate a POMDP model by a simpler model. Only one previous method falls into the second categor...
متن کاملOn the Shared Control of an EMG-Controlled Prosthetic Hand: Analysis of User–Prosthesis Interaction
An anthropomorphic underactuated prosthetic hand, endowed with position and force sensors and controlled by means of myoelectric commands, is used to perform experiments of hierarchical shared control. Three different hierarchical control strategies combined with a vibrotactile feedback system have been developed and tested by able-bodied subjects through grasping tasks used in activities of da...
