Soft material picking control by robot arm
Exhibition event
- ROBODEX Nagoya (October 2021)
Contents
- Robot arm hand gripping strength is adjusted by reinforcement learning to transport soft objects (bread) without damaging their shape.
- Assuming automation in a bakery, we have developed a reinforcement learning AI that grips soft objects (bread) with “just the right amount of force” and moves and arranges them without damaging their shape.
Structure
- reate a pan model using AGX Dynamics for physics representation, and place the pan model on Unreal Engine4.
- Reinforcement learning was used to infer the grasping force to hold the bread without crushing it.
- After grasping the bread, programmatically instruct the bread model to move to another location.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 to align the bread models by bread type.
Tools
- AGX Dynamics
- Unreal Engine 4
