Humanoid robots object grasping and manipulation learning by demonstration

Abstract

Humanoid Robots are used in many scientific research areas ranging from household applications to disposing a bomb in hazardous environments. In the past, robots are generally programmed by programming language, but now-a-days, researchers are working on a new technique to avoid programming language and to teach robots by demonstration as humans do. Learning by demonstration will completely change the way to of taking task from a robot, by this technique, robots can easily learn different techniques and with the passage of time they can modify learnt techniques by themselves without any human assistance. In this paper a modified technique of learning by demonstration using telemanipulation is presented to teach robots to grasp & to manipulate different versatile objects and then saves the information of performed task in its memory for future use.
