A simple strategy for opening an unknown door. Niemeyer, G. & Slotine, J. J. E. In Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation, volume 2, pages 1448–1453 vol.2, April, 1997.

Many robotic applications involve interactions with a simple mechanism, such as opening a door or turning a crank. Implementing such tasks using standard controllers may require precise knowledge of the kinematics or result in prohibitively large internal forces. We propose a simple method that learns the shape of the mechanism while in motion and generates little internal forces, in essence following the path of least resistance. The discussion is illustrated experimentally
