Zero-shot Interactive Perception
Venkatesh Sripada, Frank Guerin, Amir Ghalamzan
Interactive perception (IP) enables robots to extract hidden information in their workspace and execute manipulation plans by physically interacting with objects and altering the s…
Scene Exploration by Vision-Language Models
Venkatesh Sripada, Samuel Carter, Frank Guerin +1
Active perception enables robots to dynamically gather information by adjusting their viewpoints, a crucial capability for interacting with complex, partially observable environmen…
Optimising robotic operation speed with edge computing over 5G networks: Insights from selective harvesting robots
Usman A. Zahidi, Arshad Khan, Tsvetan Zhivkov +8
Selective harvesting by autonomous robots will be a critical enabling technology for future farming. Increases in inflation and shortages of skilled labour are driving factors that…
Enabling Tactile Feedback for Robotic Strawberry Handling using AST Skin
Vishnu Rajendran, Kiyanoush Nazari, Simon Parsons +1
Acoustic Soft Tactile (AST) skin is a novel sensing technology which derives tactile information from the modulation of acoustic waves travelling through the skin's embedded acoust…
Neural Task Success Classifiers for Robotic Manipulation from Few Real Demonstrations
Abdalkarim Mohtasib, Amir Ghalamzan E., Nicola Bellotto +1
Robots learning a new manipulation task from a small amount of demonstrations are increasingly demanded in different workspaces. A classifier model assessing the quality of actions…
