Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – Current study results on robotics have been published. According to news reporting originating from the University Car los III of Madrid by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “This paper introdu ces a novel approach to robotic assistance in bottle opening using the dual-arm robot TIAGo++.” The news journalists obtained a quote from the research from University Carlos I II of Madrid: “The solution enhances accessibility by addressing the needs of in dividuals with injuries or disabilities who may require help with common manipul ation tasks. The aim of this paper is to propose a method involving vision, mani pulation, and learning techniques to effectively address the task of bottle open ing. The process begins with the acquisition of bottle and cap positions using a n RGB-D camera and computer vision. Subsequently, the robot picks the bottle wit h one gripper and grips the cap with the other, each by planning safe trajectori es. Then, the opening procedure is executed via a position and force control sch eme that ensures both grippers follow the unscrewing path defined by the cap thr ead. Within the control loop, force sensor information is employed to control th e vertical axis movements, while gripper rotation control is achieved through a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm trained to determine the optimal ang le increments for rotation.”
