Reinforcement Learning of Bimanual Robot Skills

This book tackles all the stages and mechanisms involved in the learning of manipulation tasks by bimanual robots in unstructured settings, as it can be the task of folding clothes.

The first part describes how to build an integrated system, capable of properly handling the kinematics and dynamics of the robot along the learning process. It proposes practical enhancements to closed—loop inverse kinematics for redundant robots, a procedure to position the two arms to maximize workspace mani...
