CANINE: Coaching Visually Impaired Users for Interactive Navigation with a Robot Guide Dog
Cunjun Yu, Zishuo Wang, Anxing Xiao +2
Robot guide dogs offer navigation assistance that greatly expands the independent mobility of the visually impaired, but their effective use requires subtle human-robot coordinatio…
Active Contact Sensing for Robust Robot-to-Human Object Handover
Linfeng Li, Lin Shao, David Hsu
Robot-to-human object handover is an essential skill for robot assistants, from serving drinks at home to passing surgical tools in the operating room. We expect robots to perform…
AI for Auto-Research: Roadmap & User Guide
Lingdong Kong, Xian Sun, Wei Chow +17
AI-assisted research is crossing a threshold: fully automated systems can now generate research papers for as little as $15, while long-horizon agents can execute experiments, draf…
"Stack It Up!": 3D Stable Structure Generation from 2D Hand-drawn Sketch
Yiqing Xu, Linfeng Li, Cunjun Yu +1
Imagine a child sketching the Eiffel Tower and asking a robot to bring it to life. Today's robot manipulation systems can't act on such sketches directly-they require precise 3D bl…
CLASP: General-Purpose Clothes Manipulation with Semantic Keypoints
Yuhong Deng, Chao Tang, Cunjun Yu +2
Clothes manipulation, such as folding or hanging, is a critical capability for home service robots. Despite recent advances, most existing methods remain limited to specific clothe…
Differentiable Contact Dynamics for Stable Object Placement Under Geometric Uncertainties
Linfeng Li, Gang Yang, Lin Shao +1
From serving a cup of coffee to positioning mechanical parts during assembly, stable object placement is a crucial skill for future robots. It becomes particularly challenging unde…
Differentiable Particles for General-Purpose Deformable Object Manipulation
Siwei Chen, Yiqing Xu, Cunjun Yu +2
Deformable object manipulation is a long-standing challenge in robotics. While existing approaches often focus narrowly on a specific type of object, we seek a general-purpose algo…
"Set It Up!": Functional Object Arrangement with Compositional Generative Models
Yiqing Xu, Jiayuan Mao, Yilun Du +3
This paper studies the challenge of developing robots capable of understanding under-specified instructions for creating functional object arrangements, such as "set up a dining ta…
COACH: Cooperative Robot Teaching
Cunjun Yu, Yiqing Xu, Linfeng Li +1
Knowledge and skills can transfer from human teachers to human students. However, such direct transfer is often not scalable for physical tasks, as they require one-to-one interact…
DaXBench: Benchmarking Deformable Object Manipulation with Differentiable Physics
Siwei Chen, Yiqing Xu, Cunjun Yu +4
Deformable Object Manipulation (DOM) is of significant importance to both daily and industrial applications. Recent successes in differentiable physics simulators allow learning al…
