Abstract

Various embodiments of the technology described herein generally relate to systems and methods for trajectory optimization with machine learning techniques. More specifically, certain embodiments relate to using neural networks to quickly predict optimized robotic arm trajectories in a variety of scenarios. Systems and methods described herein use deep neural networks to quickly predict optimized robotic arm trajectories according to certain constraints. Optimization, in accordance with some embodiments of the present technology, may include optimizing trajectory geometry and dynamics while satisfying a number of constraints, including staying collision-free and minimizing the time it takes to complete the task.
