Deep Learning with Predictive Control for Human Motion Tracking (1808.02200v1)

Abstract: We propose to combine model predictive control with deep learning for the task of accurate human motion tracking with a robot. We design the MPC to allow switching between the learned and a conservative prediction. We also explored online learning with a DyBM model. We applied this method to human handwriting motion tracking with a UR-5 robot. The results show that the framework significantly improves tracking performance.
