DEXOP: A Device for Robotic Transfer of Dexterous Human Manipulation
Hao-Shu Fang, Branden Romero, Yichen Xie +9
We introduce perioperation, a paradigm for robotic data collection that sensorizes and records human manipulation while maximizing the transferability of the data to real robots. W…
EyeSight Hand: Design of a Fully-Actuated Dexterous Robot Hand with Integrated Vision-Based Tactile Sensors and Compliant Actuation
Branden Romero, Hao-Shu Fang, Pulkit Agrawal +1
In this work, we introduce the EyeSight Hand, a novel 7 degrees of freedom (DoF) humanoid hand featuring integrated vision-based tactile sensors tailored for enhanced whole-hand ma…
DIFFTACTILE: A Physics-based Differentiable Tactile Simulator for Contact-rich Robotic Manipulation
Zilin Si, Gu Zhang, Qingwei Ben +4
We introduce DIFFTACTILE, a physics-based differentiable tactile simulation system designed to enhance robotic manipulation with dense and physically accurate tactile feedback. In…
GelSight Wedge: Measuring High-Resolution 3D Contact Geometry with a Compact Robot Finger
Shaoxiong Wang, Yu She, Branden Romero +1
Vision-based tactile sensors have the potential to provide important contact geometry to localize the objective with visual occlusion. However, it is challenging to measure high-re…
Digger Finger: GelSight Tactile Sensor for Object Identification Inside Granular Media
Radhen Patel, Rui Ouyang, Branden Romero +1
In this paper we present an early prototype of the Digger Finger that is designed to easily penetrate granular media and is equipped with the GelSight sensor. Identifying objects b…
SwingBot: Learning Physical Features from In-hand Tactile Exploration for Dynamic Swing-up Manipulation
Chen Wang, Shaoxiong Wang, Branden Romero +2
Several robot manipulation tasks are extremely sensitive to variations of the physical properties of the manipulated objects. One such task is manipulating objects by using gravity…
Soft, Round, High Resolution Tactile Fingertip Sensors for Dexterous Robotic Manipulation
Branden Romero, Filipe Veiga, Edward Adelson
High resolution tactile sensors are often bulky and have shape profiles that make them awkward for use in manipulation. This becomes important when using such sensors as fingertips…
Design of a Fully Actuated Robotic Hand With Multiple Gelsight Tactile Sensors
Achu Wilson, Shaoxiong Wang, Branden Romero +1
This work details the design of a novel two finger robot gripper with multiple Gelsight based optical-tactile sensors covering the inner surface of the hand. The multiple Gelsight…
Improving grasp performance using in-hand proximity and contact sensing
Radhen Patel, Rebecca Cox, Branden Romero +1
We describe the grasping and manipulation strategy that we employed at the autonomous track of the Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Competition at IROS 2016. A salient feature of…
