Description: Topics may vary. For Fall 2009: Robot Manipulation - This seminar will explore important topics in robot manipulation and grasping. Students will read, present, and discuss research papers covering the relevant topics. The instructor will give background lectures where appropriate. The main topics to be covered are: manipulator force and impedance control, grasp mechanics and planning, tactile and visual perception during manipulation, and high-level control of manipulation. Specific topics might include: series elastic actuation, tendon-driven finger control, dynamics during impedance control, Bayesian estimation of system state, classification, reactive systems, dimensionality reduction, combination of control primitives. Students will be responsible for: reading papers, writing one-paragraph paper summaries, periodically presenting to the class, and periodically solving analysis problems assigned by the instructor.
