Abstract:An argument is given as to why position servo control is an inappropriate mode of control for a robotic manipulator performing the mating of rigid body components. A method of describing such assembly tasks in an invariant manner by expressing them as possible transitions between spatial relationships is presented, and it is shown that a manipulator whose joints are controlled in a compliant manner is able to learn assembly behaviour which reflects this invariant description by monitoring the effects of its interaction with the environment.
