Diff-DOPE: Differentiable Deep Object Pose Estimation

Jonathan Tremblay, Bowen Wen, Valts Blukis +3

We introduce Diff-DOPE, a 6-DoF pose refiner that takes as input an image, a 3D textured model of an object, and an initial pose of the object. The method uses differentiable rende…

RGB-Only Reconstruction of Tabletop Scenes for Collision-Free Manipulator Control

Zhenggang Tang, Balakumar Sundaralingam, Jonathan Tremblay +6

We present a system for collision-free control of a robot manipulator that uses only RGB views of the world. Perceptual input of a tabletop scene is provided by multiple images of…

Parallel Inversion of Neural Radiance Fields for Robust Pose Estimation

Yunzhi Lin, Thomas Müller, Jonathan Tremblay +5

We present a parallelized optimization method based on fast Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) for estimating 6-DoF pose of a camera with respect to an object or scene. Given a single o…

Complex In-Hand Manipulation via Compliance-Enabled Finger Gaiting and Multi-Modal Planning

Andrew S. Morgan, Kaiyu Hang, Bowen Wen +2

Constraining contacts to remain fixed on an object during manipulation limits the potential workspace size, as motion is subject to the hand's kinematic topology. Finger gaiting is…
