TACT: Humanoid Whole-body Contact Manipulation through Deep Imitation Learning with Tactile Modality
Masaki Murooka, Takahiro Hoshi, Kensuke Fukumitsu +5
Manipulation with whole-body contact by humanoid robots offers distinct advantages, including enhanced stability and reduced load. On the other hand, we need to address challenges…
Four-Axis Adaptive Fingers Hand for Object Insertion: FAAF Hand
Naoki Fukaya, Koki Yamane, Shimpei Masuda +3
Robots operating in the real world face significant but unavoidable issues in object localization that must be dealt with. A typical approach to address this is the addition of com…
Precise Well-plate Placing Utilizing Contact During Sliding with Tactile-based Pose Estimation for Laboratory Automation
Sameer Pai, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Shimpei Masuda +3
Micro well-plates are an apparatus commonly used in chemical and biological experiments that are a few centimeters thick and contain wells or divets. In this paper, we aim to solve…
SAID-NeRF: Segmentation-AIDed NeRF for Depth Completion of Transparent Objects
Avinash Ummadisingu, Jongkeum Choi, Koki Yamane +3
Acquiring accurate depth information of transparent objects using off-the-shelf RGB-D cameras is a well-known challenge in Computer Vision and Robotics. Depth estimation/completion…
Stable Object Placing using Curl and Diff Features of Vision-based Tactile Sensors
Kuniyuki Takahashi, Shimpei Masuda, Tadahiro Taniguchi
Ensuring stable object placement is crucial to prevent objects from toppling over, breaking, or causing spills. When an object makes initial contact to a surface, and some force is…
