  • An Introduction to the NASA Robotics Alliance Cadets Program
    Session F An Introduction to the NASA Robotics Alliance Cadets Program David R. Schneider, Clare van den Blink NASA, DAVANNE, & Cornell University / Cornell University CIT [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The 2006 report National Defense Education and Innovation Initiative highlighted this nation’s growing need to revitalize undergraduate STEM education. In response, NASA has partnered with the DAVANNE Corporation to create the NASA Robotics Alliance Cadets Program to develop innovative, highly integrated and interactive curriculum to redesign the first two years of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. This paper introduces the NASA Cadets Program and provides insight into the skill areas targeted by the program as well as the assessment methodology for determining the program’s effectiveness. The paper also offers a brief discussion on the capabilities of the program’s robotic platform and a justification for its design into the program. As an example of the integration of the robotic platform with the program’s methodologies, this paper concludes by outlining one of the first educational experiments of NASA Cadets Program at Cornell University to be implemented in the Spring 2007 semester. I. Introduction To be an engineer is to be a designer, a creator of new technology, and the everyday hero that solves society’s problems through innovative methods and products by making ideas become a reality. However, the opportunity to truly explore these key concepts of being an engineer are often withheld from most incoming engineering students until at least their junior year causing many new students to lose motivation and potentially leave the program.

The Chirps Prototyping System Abstract Oregon State University has been a pioneer in developing a “Platform for Learning” using their TekBots platform as a fundamental part of their electrical and computer engineering curriculum. At George Fox University, we fundamentally affirm this concept of a “Platform for Learning,” but we additionally desire a “Platform for Prototyping.” By “Platform for Prototyping,” we mean a platform that will enable our engineering students to create significant engineering projects as part of a myriad of service-learning projects, student research, course projects, and the senior capstone experience. To be effective across our curriculum, this system must not only be usable by mechanical, electrical and computer engineers, but by engineering students at the end of their first year in the engineering program.

Mobile robotic platforms are becoming more and more popular, both in scientific research and in commercial settings. Robotic systems are useful for going places or performing tasks that are not suitable for humans to do. Robots are often able to precisely perform complicated or dangerous tasks with little or no human involvement. However, before a mobile robotic platform is able to be deployed, it must have a way of identifying where it is in relation to objects and obstacles around it. Often, this is being performed by using a visual system, such as a camera. However, just wiring a camera onto a robot is not sufficient. With many of the tasks that are given to a robotic system to perform, a great deal of precision is required to satisfactorily complete these tasks. This precision requires that the robot be given accurate information by the camera.

  • Open-Source Reinforcement Learning Framework and Robot Manipulation Benchmark
    SURREAL: Open-Source Reinforcement Learning Framework and Robot Manipulation Benchmark Linxi Fan∗ Yuke Zhu∗ Jiren Zhu Zihua Liu Orien Zeng Anchit Gupta Joan Creus-Costa Silvio Savarese Li Fei-Fei Stanford Vision and Learning Lab (SVL) Department of Computer Science, Stanford University surreal.stanford.edu Abstract: Reproducibility has been a significant challenge in deep reinforcement learning and robotics research. Open-source frameworks and standardized bench- marks can serve an integral role in rigorous evaluation and reproducible research. We introduce SURREAL, an open-source scalable framework that supports state- of-the-art distributed reinforcement learning algorithms. We design a principled distributed learning formulation that accommodates both on-policy and off-policy learning. We demonstrate that SURREAL algorithms outperform existing open- source implementations in both agent performance and learning efficiency. We also introduce SURREAL Robotics Suite, an accessible set of benchmarking tasks in physical simulation for reproducible robot manipulation research. We provide extensive evaluations of SURREAL algorithms and establish strong baseline results. Keywords: Robot Manipulation, Reinforcement Learning, Distributed Learning Systems, Reproducible Research 1 Introduction Reinforcement learning (RL) has been an established framework in robotics to learn controllers via trial and error [1]. Classic reinforcement learning literature in robotics has largely relied on handcrafted features and shallow models [2, 3]. The recent success of deep neural networks in learning representations [4] has incentivized researchers to use them as powerful function approximators to tackle more complex control problems, giving rise to deep reinforcement learning [5, 6]. Prior work has explored the potentials of using deep RL for robot manipulation [7, 8]. Recently we have witnessed an increasing number of successful demonstrations of deep RL in simulated environments [9, 10, 11] and on real hardware [12, 13].

  • Robo-Gym Ï¿½ an Open Source Toolkit for Distributed Deep Reinforcement
    2020 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) October 25-29, 2020, Las Vegas, NV, USA (Virtual) robo-gym – An Open Source Toolkit for Distributed Deep Reinforcement Learning on Real and Simulated Robots Matteo Lucchi∗, Friedemann Zindler∗, Stephan Muhlbacher-Karrer,¨ Horst Pichler Abstract— Applying Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) to complex tasks in the field of robotics has proven to be very successful in the recent years. However, most of the publications focus either on applying it to a task in simulation or to a task in a real world setup. Although there are great examples of combining the two worlds with the help of transfer learning, it often requires a lot of additional work and fine-tuning to make the setup work effectively. In order to increase the use of DRL with real robots and reduce the gap between simulation and real world robotics, we propose an open source toolkit: robo- gym1. We demonstrate a unified setup for simulation and real environments which enables a seamless transfer from training in simulation to application on the robot. We showcase the capabilities and the effectiveness of the framework with two real world applications featuring industrial robots: a mobile robot and a robot arm. The distributed capabilities of the framework enable several advantages like using distributed algorithms, separating the workload of simulation and training on different physical machines as well as enabling the future opportunity to train in simulation and real world at the same time. Finally, we offer an overview and comparison of robo-gym with other frequently used state-of-the-art DRL frameworks.

  • Practical Use of Robot Manipulators As Intelligent Manufacturing Systems
    sensors Article Practical Use of Robot Manipulators as Intelligent Manufacturing Systems Pablo J. Alhama Blanco * , Fares J. Abu-Dakka and Mohamed Abderrahim Department of Systems Engineering and Automation, University of Carlos III, Escuela Politécnica Superior, Avd. de la Universidad 30, 28911 Leganés, Spain; [email protected] (F.J.A.-D.); [email protected] (M.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 June 2018; Accepted: 20 August 2018; Published: 31 August 2018 Abstract: This paper presents features and advanced settings for a robot manipulator controller in a fully interconnected intelligent manufacturing system. Every system is made up of different agents. As also occurs in the Internet of Things and smart cities, the big issue here is to ensure not only that implementation is key, but also that there is better common understanding among the main players. The commitment of all agents is still required to translate that understanding into practice in Industry 4.0. Mutual interactions such as machine-to-machine and man-to-machine are solved in real time with cyber physical capabilities. This paper explores intelligent manufacturing through the context of industrial robot manipulators within a Smart Factory. An online communication algorithm with proven intelligent manufacturing abilities is proposed to solve real-time interactions. The algorithm is developed to manage and control all robot parameters in real-time. The proposed tool in conjunction with the intelligent manufacturing core incorporates data from the robot manipulators into the industrial big data to manage the factory. The novelty is a communication tool that implements the Industry 4.0 standards to allow communications among the required entities in the complete system.
