High-DOF robot systems are increasingly used for different applications. These systems include soft robots with deformable joints, which have a high-dimensional configuration space. Other scenarios correspond to articulated robots interacting with highly deformable objects like cloth or deformable environments like fluids. In this proposal, we focus on designing a general learning-based framework for accurate and flexible High-DOF robot systems.
