TAU Robotics continues to further develop autonomous heavy machines. In their recent work TAU researchers demonstrate learning by demonstration where a human driver drives a pile loader and a machine learning system learns to "imitate" the task. Autonomous pile loader is demonstrated in the TAU Robotics Large Machinery Outdoor Lab.
The paper
- Learning a Pile Loading Controller from Demonstrations (W. Yang, N. Strokina, N. Serbenyuk, R. Ghabcheloo and J.-\ K. Kämäräinen), In IEEE Int. Conf. on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2020.
will be presented in the largest robotics conference ICRA in Paris, France, in 2020 summer.
A Youtube video of the system is available:
