Trajectory Optimization for Collision-Aware Redundant Robotic Multi-Axis Additive Manufacturing by Constrained Gradient Projection
Zhikai Shen, Jiasheng Qu, Chenyu Xu +4
Redundant robotic multi-axis additive manufacturing (MAAM) enables support-free and conformal fabrication, but trajectory optimization for long-horizon paths remains challenging un…
Reduced-order Neural Modeling with Differentiable Simulation for High-Detail Tactile Perception
Yuhu Guo, Zhikai Shen, Jiasheng Qu +4
Tactile perception is key to dexterous manipulation, yet simulating high-resolution elastomer deformation remains computationally prohibitive. Finite element methods (FEM) deliver…
FingerViP: Learning Real-World Dexterous Manipulation with Fingertip Visual Perception
Zhen Zhang, Weinan Wang, Hejia Sun +4
The current practice of dexterous manipulation generally relies on a single wrist-mounted view, which is often occluded and limits performance on tasks requiring multi-view percept…
Model-Free Co-Optimization of Manufacturable Sensor Layouts and Deformation Proprioception
Yingjun Tian, Guoxin Fang, Aoran Lyu +5
Flexible sensors are increasingly employed in soft robotics and wearable devices to provide proprioception of freeform deformations.Although supervised learning can train shape pre…
Correspondence-Free, Function-Based Sim-to-Real Learning for Deformable Surface Control
Yingjun Tian, Guoxin Fang, Renbo Su +6
This paper presents a correspondence-free, function-based sim-to-real learning method for controlling deformable freeform surfaces. Unlike traditional sim-to-real transfer methods…
Towards Intuitive Human-Robot Interaction through Embodied Gesture-Driven Control with Woven Tactile Skins
ChunPing Lam, Xiangjia Chen, Chenming Wu +6
This paper presents a novel human-robot interaction (HRI) framework that enables intuitive gesture-driven control through a capacitance-based woven tactile skin. Unlike conventiona…
