刚柔混合机器人如何突破刚性机械臂之外的操作学习
Learning Beyond Rigid Manipulation with Hybrid Soft-Rigid Robots
AI 导读
刚臂与软体机械臂串联组成的混合机器人系统，配合专门设计的模仿学习算法，可结合刚性精度与软体顺应性习得操作技能，并在单次尝试中泛化到任务变化。系统在堆叠等经典任务上达到或超过刚性机器人水平，还能完成穿过狭窄开口抓取物体等刚性机器人无法实现的新行为。该算法普遍适用于这类刚柔混合系统。

Abstract:Rigid-soft robot hybrids promise to unite the precision and repeatability of rigid manipulators with the compliance and adaptability of soft structures. Yet, full-fledged rigid-soft manipulators remain largely unexplored, in part because the intelligence required to exploit this combination is still missing. Here, we introduce a hybrid robotic system obtained by the series interconnection of a rigid arm and a soft manipulator, and systematically examine its ability to perform both established and previously inaccessible manipulation tasks. We show that a tailored imitation learning algorithm -- generally applicable to this class of hybrid systems -- leverages the complementary roles of rigid precision and soft embodiment to acquire manipulation skills and generalize them in a single shot across task variations. As a result, the system matches or exceeds the performance of rigid robots in classical tasks such as stacking, while enabling qualitatively new behaviors, including grasping objects through narrow openings.
