Abstract
:
Robots intended to perform mobile manipulation in complex environments are commonly equipped with an extensive set of sensors and motors, creating a wide range of perception and interaction capabilities. However, to exploit all theoretically possible abilities of such systems, a control strategy is required that allows to determine and apply the best solution for a given task within an appropriate time frame. In this paper, a lifelong self-improving control scheme for kinematically complex robots is presented, which uses simulation-based behavior generation and optimization procedures to create a library of well-performing solutions for varying tasks and conditions, and combines it with case-based selection, evaluation, and online adaptation methods.
