Hey Marcus, I think this would be a good approach to work on this project: # First we need to find the required final coordinates of the object (in the simulation we would already know that, but in the real world, we need to use some 3D camera). # Then we can find the optimal path using trajectory planning techniques # After that we can find the joint angles using inverse kinematics # Using these joint angles, we can train our model
For learning manipulator kinematics/dynamics, lectures by Prof. Oussama Khatib at Stanford, are very good. The book "Introduction to Robotics: Mechanics and Control" by J. Craig is also very good. For simulation, the environments you suggested would be surely helpful. Although, I need to work a little bit more to see the extent to which they can be used. I wanted to you ask how to train mlpack models on large datasets on cloud. It would help me to create a detailed timeline for my proposal. Please let me know what you think.
