KnotDLO: Toward Interpretable Knot Tying
Holly Dinkel, Raghavendra Navaratna, Jingyi Xiang +3
This work presents KnotDLO, a method for one-handed Deformable Linear Object (DLO) knot tying that is robust to occlusion, repeatable for varying rope initial configurations, inter…
Deformable Cargo Transport in Microgravity with Astrobee
Daniel Morton, Rika Antonova, Brian Coltin +2
We present pyastrobee: a simulation environment and control stack for Astrobee in Python, with an emphasis on cargo manipulation and transport tasks. We also demonstrate preliminar…
Semantic Masking and Visual Feature Matching for Robust Localization
Luisa Mao, Ryan Soussan, Brian Coltin +2
We are interested in long-term deployments of autonomous robots to aid astronauts with maintenance and monitoring operations in settings such as the International Space Station. Un…
Online Information-Aware Motion Planning with Inertial Parameter Learning for Robotic Free-Flyers
Monica Ekal, Keenan Albee, Brian Coltin +3
Space free-flyers like the Astrobee robots currently operating aboard the International Space Station must operate with inherent system uncertainties. Parametric uncertainties like…
