Reaching through latent space: From joint statistics to path planning in manipulation

We present a novel approach to path planning for robotic manipulators, in which paths are produced via iterative optimisation in the latent space of a generative model of robot poses. Constraints are incorporated through the use of constraint satisfaction classifiers operating on the same space. Opt...
