ABSTRACT

The techniques described herein relate to systems, apparatus, articles of
manufacture, and methods for training robots for dexterous manipulation tasks.
An example apparatus for training a robotic system includes an end effector
configured to manipulate an object, a passive exoskeleton configured to be
manipulated by a portion of a user's body to change one or more parameters
of the end effector, one or more linkages coupling the end effector to the
passive exoskeleton, wherein the one or more linkages transmit forces applied
to the end effector, due to interactions of the end effector with a
surrounding environment comprising the object, to the portion of the
user's body through the passive exoskeleton, and one or more sensors
coupled to the end effector and configured to sense the one or more parameters
of the end effector, and output one or more signals indicative of the one or
more parameters.
