Date: Thursday October 27th, half-day (morning)
The Tutorial will be given by presenters both in-person and online

In-person venue: Room C-1 in the conference centre.

On-line Zoom Meeting: https://uni-bielefeld.zoom.us/j/68949706356?pwd=Tml2LythMUlMazQvWHl6WGxVT3VkQT09 [Meeting ID: 689 4970 6356 Passcode: 148969]

9:00 – 9:10 Introduction

9:10 – 10:10 Part I Fundamentals of Tactile Servoing

Fundamentals of tactile servoing, including some background on tactile sensing, how tactile sensory data can be used in feedback control and the relation to visual servo control.

Lecture given by Nathan Lepora in person in Room C-1 (also broadcast on Zoom).

10:20 – 11:20 Part II Applications of Tactile Servoing

Application to different types of tactile sensors, including how tactile features for control are derived from tactile data. We will also explain how these are used in a range of tactile servoing tasks
Lecture given by Qiang Li online in Zoom and broadcast to the theatre.

11:30 – 12:00 Coffee break

12:00 – 12:30 Part III Interactive lecture on Tactile Servoing

In-person lecture: The presentation will give a short introduction of simulation methods for tactile control, and introduce open-source code for tactile servo control in the 'Tactile Gym' environment. This can also be used for deep reinforcement learning of control policies and is compatible with tactile sim-to-real.
In-person lecture (and Room 1 online): Nathan Lepora, with Alex Church and Yijiong Lin.

Online lecture: This presentation will cover the simulation framework developed by the Bielefeld group.
Online lecture (Room 2 online): Qiang Li

12:30 End
