Informed Federated Learning to Train a Robotic Arm Inverse Dynamic Model

Abstract

Access to real-world robotics data is often constrained by data-sharing restrictions and intellectual-property concerns. This work proposes an informed federated-learning approach to train a robotic-arm inverse dynamic model from distributed datasets without centralising the data. The approach improves the learned model while preserving the ownership and privacy of participating data sources.
