ForceBand: A Low-Cost sEMG Wristband for Force-Aware Robot Learning from Human Demonstrations
Summary
This paper presents ForceBand, a low-cost sEMG (surface electromyography) wristband system that captures human muscle activity during manipulation tasks and translates it into force-enriched demonstrations for robot policy learning. The system enables force-aware robot learning directly from human demonstrations, addressing the challenge of teaching robots to perform forceful manipulation tasks (like pushing, pulling, twisting) that require precise force control. The research involves collaboration between Amazon FAR, University of Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University.
