Comparing Subjective Perceptions of Robot-to-Human Handover Trajectories
Alexander Calvert, Wesley Chan, Tin Tran +4
Robots must move legibly around people for safety reasons, especially for tasks where physical contact is possible. One such task is handovers, which requires implicit communicatio…
In-Hand Gravitational Pivoting Using Tactile Sensing
Jason Toskov, Rhys Newbury, Mustafa Mukadam +2
We study gravitational pivoting, a constrained version of in-hand manipulation, where we aim to control the rotation of an object around the grip point of a parallel gripper. To ac…
HOB-CNN: Hallucination of Occluded Branches with a Convolutional Neural Network for 2D Fruit Trees
Zijue Chen, Keenan Granland, Rhys Newbury +1
Orchard automation has attracted the attention of researchers recently due to the shortage of global labor force. To automate tasks in orchards such as pruning, thinning, and harve…
Deep Learning Approaches to Grasp Synthesis: A Review
Rhys Newbury, Morris Gu, Lachlan Chumbley +9
Grasping is the process of picking up an object by applying forces and torques at a set of contacts. Recent advances in deep-learning methods have allowed rapid progress in robotic…
Integrating High-Resolution Tactile Sensing into Grasp Stability Prediction
Lachlan Chumbley, Morris Gu, Rhys Newbury +2
We investigate how high-resolution tactile sensors can be utilized in combination with vision and depth sensing, to improve grasp stability prediction. Recent advances in simulatin…
Visibility Maximization Controller for Robotic Manipulation
Kerry He, Rhys Newbury, Tin Tran +5
Occlusions caused by a robot's own body is a common problem for closed-loop control methods employed in eye-to-hand camera setups. We propose an optimization-based reactive control…
