Our approach yields a compact Bayesian network for the robot's kinematic structure including the forward and inverse models relating action commands and body pose. We propose to simultaneously learn local action models for all pairs of perceivable body parts from data generated through random ``motor babbling.'' From this repertoire of local models, we construct a Bayesian network for the full system using the pose prediction accuracy on a separate cross validation data set as the criterion for model selection. The resulting model can be used to predict the body pose when no perception is available and allows for gradient-based posture control. In experiments with real and simulated manipulator arms, we show that our system is able to quickly learn compact and accurate models and to robustly deal with noisy observations.}, pdfurl = {http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~sturm/media/sturm08icra.pdf}, pages = {3328--3333} } @InProceedings{sturm08rss, TITLE = {Adaptive Body Scheme Models for Robust Robotic Manipulation}, AUTHOR = {Sturm, J. and Plagemann, C. and Burgard, W.}, BOOKTITLE = {Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS)}, ADDRESS = {Zurich, Switzerland}, YEAR = {2008}, MONTH = {June}, NOTE = {To appear}, OPTPDFURL = {http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~sturm/media/sturm08rss.pdf}, OPTABSTRACT = {}, } @InProceedings{sturm08rss-workshop, TITLE = {Body Scheme Learning and Life-Long Adaptation for Robotic Manipulation}, AUTHOR = {Sturm, J. and Plagemann, C. and Burgard, W.}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the Workshop on Robot Manipulation at Robotics: Science and Systems Conference (RSS)}, ADDRESS = {Zurich, Switzerland}, YEAR = {2008}, MONTH = {June}, NOTE = {To appear}, OPTPDFURL = {http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~sturm/media/sturm08rss-workshop.pdf}, OPTABSTRACT = {}, } @InProceedings{schulz09gwr, author={Hannes Schulz and Lionel Ott and Jürgen Sturm and Wolfram Burgard}, title={Learning Kinematics from Direct Self-Observation Using Nearest-Neighbor Methods}, conference = {Proc.~of the German Workshop on Robotics}, year={2009} } @InProceedings{sturm09rss-manip, author = {Jürgen Sturm and Cyrill Stachniss and Vijay Pradeep and Christian Plagemann and Kurt Konolige and Wolfram Burgard}, title = {Towards Understanding Articulated Objects}, conference = {Proc.~of the Workshop on Robot Manipulation at Robotics: Science and Systems Conference (RSS)}, year = {2009} } @InProceedings{sturm09ijcai, author = {Jürgen Sturm and Vijay Pradeep and Cyrill Stachniss and Christian Plagemann and Kurt Konolige and Wolfram Burgard}, title = {Learning Kinematic Models for Articulated Objects}, conference = IJCAI, year = {2009}, keywords = {robotics; machine learning; model selection}, abstract = {Robots operating in home environments must be able to interact with articulated objects such as doors or drawers.

In this paper, we present an approach to learn kinematic models by inferring the connectivity of rigid parts and the articulation models for the corresponding links. Our method uses a mixture of parameterized and parameter-free (Gaussian process) representations and finds low-dimensional manifolds that provide the best explanation of the given observations.
