Identifying an appropriate task space can simplify solving robotic manipulation problems. One solution is deploying control algorithms in a learned low-dimensional action space. Linear and nonlinear action mapping methods have trade-offs between simplicity and the ability to express motor commands outside of a single low-dimensional subspace. We propose that learning local linear action representa...
