Reinforcement Learning for 4-Finger-Gripper Manipulation

Abstract
In the framework of robotics, Reinforcement Learning (RL) deals with the learning of a task by the robot itself. This paper presents a hierarchical planning approach in which the robot learns the optimal behavior for different levels. For high-level discrete actions, Q-learning was chosen, whereas for the low level we utilize Policy Improvement with Path Integrals (PI^2) algorithm to learn the parameters of policies, represented by rhythmic Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs). The paper studies the case of a 4-finger-gripper manipulator, which performs the task of continuously spinning a ball around a desired axis. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the hierarchical planning and the improvement obtained in the performance of the task... (More)

The paper studies the case of a 4-finger-gripper manipulator, which performs the task of continuously spinning a ball around a desired axis. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the hierarchical planning and the improvement obtained in the performance of the task when PI^2 is used in conjunction with rhythmic DMPs in a real environment.
