Learning the Metric of Task Constraint Manifolds for Constrained Motion Planning

Finding feasible motion for robots with high-dimensional configuration space is a fundamental problem in robotics. Sampling-based motion planning algorithms have been shown to be effective for these high-dimensional systems. However, robots are often subject to task constraints (e.g., keeping a glas...
