Abstract

Generating trajectories autonomously through generalization requires an extensive database of motion, which is usually time-consuming and difficult to obtain. Recently approaches for autonomous database expansion for the generation of compliant and accurate motion were proposed, all showing that autonomous generation of the database of motion can be significantly speed up. However, no extensive analysis was performed to show what would be the optimal sequence of learning. In this paper we analyze different strategies to further speed up the learning process of autonomous database expansion for compliant movement primitives (CMPs). An extensive analysis was performed for finding an optimal learning sequence in a simulated environment for a peg-in-hole task with a Kuka LWR-4 robot. The obtained results were then confirmed on a real Kuka LWR-4 robot set up performing a peg-in-hole task.
