• Abstract: There are few industries which use manually controlled robots for carrying material and this cannot be used all the time in all the places. So, it is very tranquil to have robots which can follow a specific human by following the unique coloured object held by that person. So, we propose a robotic system which uses robot vision and deep learning to get the required linear and angular velocities which are {\nu} and {\omega}, respectively. Which in turn makes the robot to avoid obstacles when following the unique coloured object held by the human. The novel methodology that we are proposing is accurate in detecting the position of the unique coloured object in any kind of lighting and tells us the horizontal pixel value where the robot is present and also tells if the object is close to or far from the robot. Moreover, the artificial neural networks that we have used in this problem gave us a meagre error in linear and angular velocity prediction and the PI controller which was used to control the linear and angular velocities, which in turn controls the position of the robot gave us impressive results and this methodology outperforms all other methodologies.

  Eye-in-hand cameras have shown promise in enabling greater sample efficiency and generalization in vision-based robotic manipulation. Videos of humans performing tasks, on the other hand, are much cheaper to collect since they eliminate the need for expertise in robotic teleoperation. In this work, we augment narrow robotic imitation datasets with broad unlabeled human video demonstrations to greatly enhance the generalization of eye-in-hand visuomotor policies.

  State estimation from measured data is crucial for robotic applications as autonomous systems rely on sensors to capture the motion and localize in the 3D world.

We demonstrate that our method of using geometrical shape primitives can achieve high accuracy in shape reconstruction for a soft continuum robot and pose estimation for a robot manipulator.

  We consider the problem of transferring a policy across two different robots with significantly different parameters such as kinematics and morphology. Existing approaches that train a new policy by matching the action or state transition distribution, including imitation learning methods, fail due to optimal action and/or state distribution being mismatched in different robots. We propose a novel method named $REvolveR$ of using continuous evolutionary models for robotic policy transfer implemented in a physics simulator.
