Abstract
Fast valve turning is described using an Atlas humanoid robot. An integrated valve-turning skill is presented, which only requires an operator to issue a supervisory command to launch valve identification, motion planning, biped locomotion and valve manipulation. Using compliant motion control in dual-arm, palmar (non-prehensile) manipulation, robust valve turning is achieved at speeds comparable to human performance.
