TACTIC: Tactile and Vision Conditioned Contact-Centric Control for Whole-Arm Manipulation
Rishabh Madan, Angchen Xie, Samantha Saak +7
Whole-arm manipulation involves direct contact with the environment while the robot completes a task by distributing contact across multiple links as contacts form, slide, and brea…
SensorPerch: Sense Wherever and Whenever it Matters
Zhanxin Wu, Ruofei Tong, Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee
Existing robotic perception is constrained by sensors that are either robot-mounted or permanently fixed in the environment, locking perception to a limited set of viewpoints. Yet…
Embodiment Meets Environment: Toward Context-Aware, Safe Physical Caregiving Robots
Zhanxin Wu, Ruofei Tong, Jiaying Fang +1
Physical caregiving robots need to assist different users with different tasks in diverse environments, and they come in many embodiments. While substantial progress has been made…
Beyond Failure Recovery: An Engagement-Aware Human-in-the-loop Framework for Robotic Systems
Jiaying Fang, Joyce Yang, Zhanxin Wu +2
Conventional human-in-the-loop approaches typically involve users only when a robot encounters failure or uncertainty, treating humans primarily as tools for improving robot perfor…
A Human-in-the-Loop Confidence-Aware Failure Recovery Framework for Modular Robot Policies
Rohan Banerjee, Krishna Palempalli, Bohan Yang +5
Robots operating in unstructured human environments inevitably encounter failures, especially in robot caregiving scenarios. While humans can often help robots recover, excessive o…
Using Vision-Language Models as Proxies for Social Intelligence in Human-Robot Interaction
Fanjun Bu, Melina Tsai, Audrey Tjokro +3
Robots operating in everyday environments must often decide when and whether to engage with people, yet such decisions often hinge on subtle nonverbal cues that unfold over time an…
