Tactile-Reactive Roller Grasper
Shenli Yuan, Shaoxiong Wang, Radhen Patel +4
Manipulation of objects within a robot's hand is one of the most important challenges in achieving robot dexterity. The "Roller Graspers" refers to a family of non-anthropomorphic…
Visuotactile Affordances for Cloth Manipulation with Local Control
Neha Sunil, Shaoxiong Wang, Yu She +2
Cloth in the real world is often crumpled, self-occluded, or folded in on itself such that key regions, such as corners, are not directly graspable, making manipulation difficult.…
See, Hear, and Feel: Smart Sensory Fusion for Robotic Manipulation
Hao Li, Yizhi Zhang, Junzhe Zhu +7
Humans use all of their senses to accomplish different tasks in everyday activities. In contrast, existing work on robotic manipulation mostly relies on one, or occasionally two mo…
DTact: A Vision-Based Tactile Sensor that Measures High-Resolution 3D Geometry Directly from Darkness
Changyi Lin, Ziqi Lin, Shaoxiong Wang +1
Vision-based tactile sensors that can measure 3D geometry of the contacting objects are crucial for robots to perform dexterous manipulation tasks. However, the existing sensors ar…
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…
Towards Learning to Play Piano with Dexterous Hands and Touch
Huazhe Xu, Yuping Luo, Shaoxiong Wang +2
The virtuoso plays the piano with passion, poetry and extraordinary technical ability. As Liszt said (a virtuoso)must call up scent and blossom, and breathe the breath of life. The…
PyTouch: A Machine Learning Library for Touch Processing
Mike Lambeta, Huazhe Xu, Jingwei Xu +4
With the increased availability of rich tactile sensors, there is an equally proportional need for open-source and integrated software capable of efficiently and effectively proces…
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…
TACTO: A Fast, Flexible, and Open-source Simulator for High-Resolution Vision-based Tactile Sensors
Shaoxiong Wang, Mike Lambeta, Po-Wei Chou +1
Simulators perform an important role in prototyping, debugging, and benchmarking new advances in robotics and learning for control. Although many physics engines exist, some aspect…
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…
Cable Manipulation with a Tactile-Reactive Gripper
Yu She, Shaoxiong Wang, Siyuan Dong +3
Cables are complex, high dimensional, and dynamic objects. Standard approaches to manipulate them often rely on conservative strategies that involve long series of very slow and in…
3D Shape Perception from Monocular Vision, Touch, and Shape Priors
Shaoxiong Wang, Jiajun Wu, Xingyuan Sun +4
Perceiving accurate 3D object shape is important for robots to interact with the physical world. Current research along this direction has been primarily relying on visual observat…
Active Clothing Material Perception using Tactile Sensing and Deep Learning
Wenzhen Yuan, Yuchen Mo, Shaoxiong Wang +1
Humans represent and discriminate the objects in the same category using their properties, and an intelligent robot should be able to do the same. In this paper, we build a robot s…
Connecting Look and Feel: Associating the visual and tactile properties of physical materials
Wenzhen Yuan, Shaoxiong Wang, Siyuan Dong +1
For machines to interact with the physical world, they must understand the physical properties of objects and materials they encounter. We use fabrics as an example of a deformable…
