MOMA-Force: Visual-Force Imitation for Real-World Mobile Manipulation
Taozheng Yang, Ya Jing, Hongtao Wu +5
In this paper, we present a novel method for mobile manipulators to perform multiple contact-rich manipulation tasks. While learning-based methods have the potential to generate ac…
Prepare the Chair for the Bear! Robot Imagination of Sitting Affordance to Reorient Previously Unseen Chairs
Xin Meng, Hongtao Wu, Sipu Ruan +1
In this letter, a paradigm for the classification and manipulation of previously unseen objects is established and demonstrated through a real example of chairs. We present a novel…
Transporters with Visual Foresight for Solving Unseen Rearrangement Tasks
Hongtao Wu, Jikai Ye, Xin Meng +2
Rearrangement tasks have been identified as a crucial challenge for intelligent robotic manipulation, but few methods allow for precise construction of unseen structures. We propos…
Put the Bear on the Chair! Intelligent Robot Interaction with Previously Unseen Chairs via Robot Imagination
Hongtao Wu, Xin Meng, Sipu Ruan +1
In this paper, we study the problem of autonomously seating a teddy bear on a previously unseen chair. To achieve this goal, we present a novel method for robots to imagine the sit…
Efficient Path Planning in Narrow Passages for Robots with Ellipsoidal Components
Sipu Ruan, Karen L. Poblete, Hongtao Wu +2
Path planning has long been one of the major research areas in robotics, with PRM and RRT being two of the most effective classes of planners. Though generally very efficient, thes…
Can I Pour into It? Robot Imagining Open Containability Affordance of Previously Unseen Objects via Physical Simulations
Hongtao Wu, Gregory S. Chirikjian
Open containers, i.e., containers without covers, are an important and ubiquitous class of objects in human life. In this letter, we propose a novel method for robots to "imagine"…
MATINF: A Jointly Labeled Large-Scale Dataset for Classification, Question Answering and Summarization
Canwen Xu, Jiaxin Pei, Hongtao Wu +2
Recently, large-scale datasets have vastly facilitated the development in nearly all domains of Natural Language Processing. However, there is currently no cross-task dataset in NL…
Is That a Chair? Imagining Affordances Using Simulations of an Articulated Human Body
Hongtao Wu, Deven Misra, Gregory S. Chirikjian
For robots to exhibit a high level of intelligence in the real world, they must be able to assess objects for which they have no prior knowledge. Therefore, it is crucial for robot…
