FILIC: Dual-Loop Force-Guided Imitation Learning with Impedance Torque Control for Contact-Rich Manipulation Tasks
Contact-rich manipulation is crucial for robots to perform tasks requiring precise force control, such as insertion, assembly, and in-hand manipulation. However, most imitation learning (IL) policies remain position-centric and lack explicit force awareness, and adding force/torque sensors to collaborative robot arms is often costly and requires additional hardware design. To overcome these issues, we propose FILIC, a Force-guided Imitation Learning framework with impedance torque control. FILI…

Unbeatable imitation of a friend
Imitation sometimes achieves success in multi-agent situations even though it is very simple. In game theory, success of imitation has been characterized by unbeatability against other agents. Previous studies specified conditions under which imitation is unbeatable in repeated games, and clarified that the existence of unbeatable imitation is strongly related to the existence of payoff-controlling strategies, called zero-determinant strategies. However, the previous studies mainly focused on `…
