Baxter Robot Tai Chi again

video

Narrated version of the Baxter robot controlled by perceptual control systems, demonstrating protection against unknown disturbances, graceful degradation with partial function loss and synchronisation of sequence control.

The methodology achieves control of the robot arms without the need for prediction, a priori computation or kinematics.

This was implemented on the Baxter robot in the Robotics Innovation Facility at Bristol Robotics Laboratory using ROS and PCT Framework.
