"Capturing the geometric shape of a washbasin with cameras is relatively simple. But that's not the crucial step. It is much more difficult to teach the robot: Which type of movement is required for which part of the surface? How fast should the motion be? What's the appropriate angle? What's the right amount of force?"
"In a workshop, someone might look over the apprentice's shoulder and say: You need to press a little harder on that narrow edge. We wanted to find a way to let the robot learn in a very similar way."
"The work has now been published at IROS 2024 in Abu Dhabi... By watching the human, the robot learns how cleaning works and can flexibly apply this knowledge to differently shaped objects."
