Robotic Roommates Making Pancakes - Look Into Perception-Manipulation Loop
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we report on a recent public experiment that shows two robots making pancakes using web instructions. In the experiment, the robots retrieve instructions for making pancakes from the World Wide Web and generate robot action plans from the instructions. This task is jointly performed by two autonomous robots: The first robot, TUM James, opens and closes cupboards and drawers, takes a pancake mix from the refrigerator, and hands it to the seoncd robot TUM Rosie. The second robot cooks and flips the pancakes, and then delivers them back to the first robot. While the robot plans in the scenario are all percept-guided, they are also limited in different ways and rely on manually implemented sub-plans for parts of the task.

Making Virtual Pancakes — Acquiring and Analyzing Data of Everyday Manipulation Tasks through Interactive Physics-based Simulations
Teaching robots everyday tasks like making pancakes by instructions requires interfaces that can be intuitively operated by nonexperts. By performing manipulation tasks in a virtual environment using a data glove task-related information of the demonstrated actions can directly be accessed and extracted from the simulator. We translate low-level data structures of these simulations into meaning...
متن کاملInteractive Perception in Clutter
In robotic manipulation tasks, perception traditionally precedes the act of manipulation, after which the two are typically interleaved. Perception thus enables efficient and effective manipulation. This paper explores the idea that manipulation enables efficient and effective perception, which in turn improves performance on the overall robotic manipulation task. We study this idea in cluttere...
متن کاملKnowledge Enabled High-Level Task Abstraction and Execution
This paper investigates issues in the plan design of cognition-enabled robotic agents performing everyday manipulation tasks. We believe that plan languages employed by most cognitive architectures are syntactically too restricted to specify the flexibility, generality, and robustness needed to perform physical manipulation tasks. As a consequence, the robotic agents often have to employ flexib...
متن کاملFinite Element Simulation of Contact Mechanics of Cancer Cells in Manipulation Based on Atomic Force Microscopy
The theory of contact mechanics deals with stresses and deformations which arise when the surfaces of two solid bodies are brought into contact. In elastic deformation contact occurs over a finite area. A regular method for determining the dimensions of this area is Hertz Contact Model. Appearance of atomic force microscope results in introduction of Contact ...
متن کاملCultural implications of business strategy-making
The central issue in strategy formulation and implementation process, or strategy-making, is the identification of environmental forces and the preparation of a plan of action to deal with them. This necessitates scanning the environment for gathering information. Environmental scanning should enable the firm to identify these forces. Doing this not only calls for information gathering, but als...
