Geometry-aware Dynamic Movement Primitives

Fares J. Abu-Dakka,Ville Kyrki,Fares J. Abu-Dakka,Ville Kyrki

In many robot control problems, factors such as stiffness and damping matrices and manipulability ellipsoids are naturally represented as symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices, which capture the specific geometric characteristics of those factors. Typical learned skill models such as dynamic movement primitives (DMPs) can not, however, be directly employed with quantities expressed as SPD mat...
