Imitation Learning of a Robust Policy for an Aerial Robotic System Incorporating Data Aggregation by Closed Loop Sensitivity |
Master thesis |
This project aims to develop a control policy for physical-aerial interaction using Imitation Learning (IL). The focus is on learning a policy for a push-and-slide task, initialized from a force/impedance control expert. By aggregating data with closed-loop sensitivity analysis, the project aims to significantly reduce the number of expert demonstrations required, enabling direct learning on the aerial robot system.
