Safe Whole-Body Loco-Manipulation via Combined Model and Learning-based Control
Description
Simultaneous locomotion and manipulation enables robots to interact with their environment beyond the constraints of a fixed base. However, coordinating legged locomotion with arm manipulation, while considering safety and compliance during contact interaction remains challenging. To this end, we propose a whole-body controller that combines a model-based admittance control for the manipulator arm with a Reinforcement Learning (RL) policy for legged locomotion. The admittance controller maps ext
