Goal Babbling Permits Direct Learning of Inverse Kinematics
<02>The paper introduces a highly efficient scheme for learning redundant inverse mappings from scratch. The research was funded by the Honda Research Institute GmbH, Offenbach, which filed a patent that was granted in the EU as EP 2359989. Follow-up work to improve the method for an online version with strong reference to infant learning gained the best student paper award at the IEEE Int. Conference on Development and Learning in 2011. The method was exhibited in spectacular live demonstrations at the industrial fair Automatica 2012 by the bionic handling assistant robot FESTO, which mimics an elephant trunk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGFiMviI0VY).
