NeuralActuator model improves robot dynamics and force perception · 2 sources tracked

Researchers have developed NeuralActuator, a novel neural network model designed to improve robot dynamics modeling and external force perception. This model addresses inaccuracies in traditional actuator models, particularly on low-cost platforms, by accounting for factors like friction and hysteresis. NeuralActuator jointly predicts a generalized-effort surrogate for trajectory propagation, external force with a contact-probability gate, and a motor-condition score. The system is validated on various robotic platforms, including the OpenManipulator-X, SO-101, and Franka Emika Panda, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing robot control and perception capabilities. AI
