Compliant residual DAgger: Improving real-world contact-rich manipulation with human corrections
This research addresses challenges in Dataset Aggregation (DAgger) for contact-rich manipulation by introducing Compliant Residual DAgger (CR-DAgger). The system features a compliant intervention interface for gentle human corrections without interrupting robot execution and a residual policy formulation that incorporates force feedback. Experiments show it improves base policy success rates by 64% on four tasks (book flipping, belt assembly, cable routing, gear insertion) using minimal correction data, outperforming retraining-from-scratch and fine-tuning approaches.
