Can robots use tools in a super system? No, but maybe in the future
Keywords: Mirroring, Imitation, and Tool
Abstract: The use of tools was originally considered to be the ability that distinguishes
humans from other animals. We aim to enable robots to use tools like humans, and
even surpass human abilities in a reasonable manner. This is a highly challenging
task. Robot tool use requires three skills: perception, manipulation, and high-level
cognitive skills. According to reference literature, robot tool use can be categorized
into two major classes: causal tool use and non-causal tool use, with several
subcategories including single-tool manipulation and multi-tool manipulation.
Each subcategory requires different skills and is highly complex. As for whether all
the required skills can be integrated into a single super system, enabling our robots
to have the flexibility to use various tools in complex real-world environments, this
is the question we will explore next
