Article Summary

The manipulation of Deformable Linear Objects (DLOs) such as cables poses a significant challenge for automation due to their infinite degrees of freedom and non-linear dynamics. In this paper we present a machine learning based optimal control approach for the manipulation of DLOs. This approach is divided into two main components: modeling and control. For modeling the dynamics of the DLO, we propose a learning based approach using a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (biLSTM) network. The biLSTM network is trained on synthetic data generated by the MuJoCo physics engine. For manipulating the DLO, a model predictive control strategy that employs Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control is selected. The proposed approach is evaluated through simulation and experiments. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in achieving accurate and efficient manipulation of DLOs.
