Researcher

Leonel Rozo

Leonel Rozo coauthored Learning Riemannian Manifolds for Geodesic Motion Skills. The team learned robot movement patterns from human demonstrations using a variational autoencoder. It represented those patterns as a Riemannian manifold, where geodesic paths become motion skills. Experiments with a seven-degree-of-freedom manipulator tested reproduction of demonstrated movements, adaptation to unseen obstacles and generation of new movements. Leonel Rozo and the Learning Riemannian Manifolds for Geodesic Motion Skills team received the RSS 2021 Best Student Paper Award.
