Data fusion for compliant motion tasks based on human skills

The paper discusses new developments of the data fusion paradigm due to Cortesao and Koeppe (1999, 2000). A bank of Kalman filters is analyzed in the fusion process. Experiments for a robotic compliant motion task (peg-in-hole) emerged from human skills are reported. Stereo vision and pose sense are fused to execute the task. Feedforward artificial neural networks (ANNs) are trained to transfer human skills to robotic manipulators.
