• Abstract: This is a follow-up tutorial article of our previous article entitled "Robot Basics: Representation, Rotation and Velocity". For better understanding of the topics covered in this articles, we recommend the readers to first read our previous tutorial article on robot basics. Specifically, in this article, we will cover some more advanced topics on robot kinematics, including robot motion, forward kinematics, inverse kinematics, and robot dynamics. For the topics, terminologies and notations introduced in the previous article, we will use them directly without re-introducing them again in this article. Also similar to the previous article, math and formulas will also be heavily used in this article as well (hope the readers are well prepared for the upcoming math bomb). After reading this article, readers should be able to have a deeper understanding about how robot motion, kinematics and dynamics. As to some more advanced topics about robot control, we will introduce them in the following tutorial articles for readers instead.

• Hand-Object Interaction Pretraining from Videos [77.92637809322231]
  We learn general robot manipulation priors from 3D hand-object interaction trajectories. We do so by sharing both the human hand and the manipulated object in 3D space and human motions to robot actions. We empirically demonstrate that finetuning this policy, with both reinforcement learning (RL) and behavior cloning (BC), enables sample-efficient adaptation to downstream tasks and simultaneously improves robustness and generalizability compared to prior approaches.

• Robot Learning with Sensorimotor Pre-training [98.7755895548928]
  We present a self-supervised sensorimotor pre-training approach for robotics. Our model, called RPT, is a Transformer that operates on sequences of sensorimotor tokens. We find that sensorimotor pre-training consistently outperforms training from scratch, has favorable scaling properties, and enables transfer across different tasks, environments, and robots.

  For robots to follow instructions from people, they must be able to connect the rich semantic information in human vocabulary. We develop a simple approach, which leverages a pre-trained vision-language model to extract object-identifying information. In a variety of experiments on a real mobile manipulator, we find that MOO generalizes zero-shot to a wide range of novel object categories and environments.

Students at the high school level were asked to implement a genetic algorithm to optimize the movements of the robot.

  We introduce a framework for training generalized locomotion (GenLoco) controllers for quadrupedal robots. Our framework synthesizes general-purpose locomotion controllers that can be deployed on a large variety of quadrupedal robots. We show that our models acquire more general control strategies that can be directly transferred to novel simulated and real-world robots.

  We focus on how to transfer on two different robotic platforms the same kinematics modulation that humans adopt when manipulating delicate objects. We choose to modulate the velocity profile adopted by the robots' end-effector, inspired by what humans do when transporting objects with different characteristics. We exploit a novel Generative Adversarial Network architecture, trained with human kinematics examples, to generalize over them and generate new and meaningful velocity profiles.

  Training visuomotor robot controllers from scratch on a new robot typically requires generating large amounts of robot-specific data. We propose a "robot-aware" solution paradigm that exploits readily available robot "self-knowledge" Our experiments on tabletop manipulation tasks in simulation and on real robots demonstrate that these plug-in improvements dramatically boost the transferability of visuomotor controllers.
