Wrench-ACT: Enhancing Robot Policies for Contact Rich Behavior Using Direct Wrench Control

Johannes Hechtl, Yannik Blei, Simon Ball, Reihaneh Mirjalili, Michael Krawez, Seongjin Bien, Philipp Schmitt, Wolfram Burgard

While contact-rich manipulation requires deliberate regulation of interaction forces, recent approaches to robot manipulation learning predominantly represent actions as target positions or poses. Even methods that incorporate force sensing either use it solely as an observation or, when predicting forces as part of the output, rely on a hybrid force controller.
