Abstract
A robotic device may: receive movement information associated with a plurality of subtasks performed by a manipulator of a robotic device, where the movement information indicates respective paths followed by the manipulator while performing the respective subtasks and respective forces experienced by the manipulator along the respective paths; determine task information for a task to be performed by the robotic device, where the task comprises a combination of subtasks of the plurality of subtasks, where the task information includes a trajectory to be followed by the manipulator, and forces to be exerted by the manipulator at points along the trajectory; and determine, based on the task information, torques to be applied over time to the manipulator via a joint coupled to the robotic device to perform the task.
