Robots learn to throw objects safely in cluttered environments

Researchers have developed a new method for robotic throwing that can safely navigate cluttered environments. This approach uses a potential field state representation to guide reinforcement learning policies, allowing robots to generalize across various obstacle configurations. The method, which was initialized with kinesthetic demonstrations and optimized using SAC, DDPG, and TD3 algorithms, achieved up to 90% success in real-world experiments with unseen objects and cluttered scenes.

    Learning to Throw Objects Safely in Multi-Obstacle Environments

    Robotic throwing enables fast and efficient object placement beyond the robot's immediate workspace, but reliable throwing in cluttered environments remains underexplored. Existing approaches, such as TossingBot, learn throwing strategies from visual input but assume obstacle-fre…
