Systems and methods for visuo-tactile object pose estimation are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving image data about an object and receiving depth data about the object. The method also includes generating a visual estimate of the object based on the image data and the depth data. The method further includes receiving tactile data about the object. The method yet further includes generating a tactile estimate of the object based on the tactile data. The method includes estimating a pose of the object based on the visual estimate and the tactile estimate.

A system capable of causing an agent to continuously execute a plurality of different subtasks while securing the continuity of behavior of the agent is provided. A plurality of state variable trajectories representing the time series of a state variable of an object are generated according to a stochastic transition model in which the state variable of the object is represented as a random variable. The stochastic transition model is defined so that the transition mode of the state variable is determined according to an execution probability of each subtask in which a probability distribution is represented by a Dirichlet distribution. An operation of the agent is controlled so that the state of the object transits according to one state variable trajectory (desired state variable trajectory) maximizing or optimizing the joint probability of a whole of the stochastic transition model among the plurality of state variable trajectories.
