MANIPULATION WITH SHARED GRASPING · ROBOTICS: SCIENCE AND Paper Reviews Review 1. Automatic generation of hybrid force-position control commands for object manipulation is exciting. This paper makes important contributions to this line of work, particularly analyzing the conditions for the stability/feasibility of contact modes and also proposing a way to quantify the stability of a contact mode. LEARNING AGILE ROBOTIC LOCOMOTION SKILLS BY IMITATING In this work, we present an imitation learning system that enables legged robots to learn agile locomotion skills by imitating real-world animals. We show that by leveraging reference motion data, a single learning-based approach is able to automatically synthesize controllers for a diverse repertoire behaviors for legged robots. SIMULTANEOUS ENHANCEMENT AND SUPER-RESOLUTION OF Paper Reviews Review 1. The problem of simultaneous super-resolution and image enhancement is relevant because it avoids the possible amplification by one step of the artifacts introduced by the other one, especially for underwater images. LEARNING MEMORY-BASED CONTROL FOR HUMAN-SCALE BIPEDAL Controlling a non-statically stable biped is a difficult problem largely due to the complex hybrid dynamics involved. Recent work has demonstrated the effectiveness of reinforcement learning (RL) for simulation-based training of neural network controllers that successfully transfer to real bipeds.

This work contributes an event-driven visual-tactile perception system, comprising a novel biologically-inspired tactile sensor and multi-modal spike-based learning. Our neuromorphic fingertip tactile sensor, NeuTouch, scales well with the number of taxels thanks to its event-based nature. Likewise, our Visual-Tactile Spiking Neural

DEEP DRONE ACROBATICS · ROBOTICS: SCIENCE AND SYSTEMS Review 1. This paper proposes a complete learning system which allows a drone to fly acrobatic maneuvers. It learns a sensorimotor agent purely in simulation and performs zero-shot sim-to-real transfer. Impressive results are demonstrated on a real drone. This paper is very well written.
