Metric-Based Imitation Learning Between Two Dissimilar Anthropomorphic Robotic Arms
The development of autonomous robotic systems that can learn from human demonstrations to imitate a desired behavior - rather than being manually programmed - has huge technological potential. One major challenge in imitation learning is the correspondence problem: how to establish corresponding states and actions between expert and learner, when the embodiments of the agents are different (morphology, dynamics, degrees of freedom, etc.). Many existing approaches in imitation learning circumvent the correspondence problem, for example, kinesthetic teaching or teleoperation, which are performed on the robot. In this work we explicitly address the correspondence problem by introducing a distance measure between dissimilar embodiments. This measure is then used as a loss function for static pose imitation and as a feedback signal within a model-free deep reinforcement learning framework for dynamic movement imitation between two anthropomorphic robotic arms in simulation. We find that the measure is well suited for describing the similarity between embodiments and for learning imitation policies by distance minimization.

Modular Anthropomorphic Hand Design via Multi-Parameter Finger Benchmarking and Selection
Designing anthropomorphic dexterous robotic hands remains challenging as the design space straddles morphology, actuation, and sensing properties, and performance metrics span both task-dependent and task-agnostic. Exist…
A Benchmark of Dexterity for Anthropomorphic Robotic Hands
Dexterity is a central yet ambiguously defined concept in the design and evaluation of anthropomorphic robotic hands. In practice, the term is often used inconsistently, with different systems evaluated under disparate c…
