Describing Robots from Design to Learning: Towards an Interactive Lifecycle Representation of Robots
Nuofan Qiu, Fang Wan, Chaoyang Song
The robot development process is divided into several stages, which create barriers to the exchange of information between these different stages. We advocate for an interactive li…
Proprioceptive State Estimation for Amphibious Tactile Sensing
Ning Guo, Xudong Han, Shuqiao Zhong +5
This paper presents a novel vision-based proprioception approach for a soft robotic finger that can estimate and reconstruct tactile interactions in both terrestrial and aquatic en…
Multi-Layered Reasoning from a Single Viewpoint for Learning See-Through Grasping
Fang Wan, Chaoyang Song
Sensory substitution enables biological systems to perceive stimuli that are typically perceived by another organ, which is inspirational for physical agents. Multimodal perception…
Active Surface with Passive Omni-Directional Adaptation of Soft Polyhedral Fingers for In-Hand Manipulation
Sen Li, Fang Wan, Chaoyang Song
Track systems effectively distribute loads, augmenting traction and maneuverability on unstable terrains, leveraging their expansive contact areas. This tracked locomotion capabili…
Overconstrained Locomotion
Haoran Sun, Bangchao Huang, Zishang Zhang +11
This paper studies the design, control, and learning of a novel robotic limb that produces overconstrained locomotion by employing the Bennett linkage for motion generation, capabl…
Autoencoding a Soft Touch to Learn Grasping from On-land to Underwater
Ning Guo, Xudong Han, Xiaobo Liu +6
Robots play a critical role as the physical agent of human operators in exploring the ocean. However, it remains challenging to grasp objects reliably while fully submerging under…
Proprioceptive Learning with Soft Polyhedral Networks
Xiaobo Liu, Xudong Han, Wei Hong +2
Proprioception is the "sixth sense" that detects limb postures with motor neurons. It requires a natural integration between the musculoskeletal systems and sensory receptors, whic…
Jigsaw-based Benchmarking for Learning Robotic Manipulation
Xiaobo Liu, Fang Wan, Sheng Ge +3
Benchmarking provides experimental evidence of the scientific baseline to enhance the progression of fundamental research, which is also applicable to robotics. In this paper, we p…
Underwater Intention Recognition using Head Motion and Throat Vibration for Supernumerary Robotic Assistance
Yuqin Guo, Rongzheng Zhang, Wanghongjie Qiu +3
This study presents a multi-modal mechanism for recognizing human intentions while diving underwater, aiming to achieve natural human-robot interactions through an underwater super…
