LEROSH: training robots for handicrafts

We explore an end-to-end workflow for artisans to work with collaborative robots on unique artifacts. We are creating a workflow to train robots with the "master's movements" that they can later apply to any geometry and material. The key challenge here is to extract the high-level skills from the craftsman's demonstration and to replicate the motion using multi-sensory feedback loop.
