Developers of I-Cub have this time taught the robot how to shoot arrows. The robot learned to hit the target which was 3.5 meters away in eight tries. The ARCHER (Augmented Reward Chained Regression) algorithm is used to coordinate the movement of the hands, when it received feedback from its image sensors. An inverse kinematics […]
I-cub, a project run in Eurpoe with participation from many Universities across the continent, is one of the most popular robot platforms in the world. The robot is taught how to recognize objects where the system is based on how young children learn. This brings the physcology, cogintive science and robotics field together. I-Cub learns […]
