Deformable Object Manipulation under Partial Observability via Real-Time Full-Shape Estimation
Kosar Behnia, Ville Kyrki, Gokhan Alcan
Manipulating deformable objects (DOs) is challenging due to their high-dimensional state space, underactuated dynamics, and partial observability. In this paper, we propose cRVAE,…
Emergency Stopping for Liquid-manipulating Robots
Samuli Hynninen, Ville Kyrki
Manipulating open liquid containers is challenging because liquids are highly sensitive to vessel accelerations and jerks. Although spill-free liquid manipulation has been widely s…
Relational Scene Graphs for Object Grounding of Natural Language Commands
Julia Kuhn, Francesco Verdoja, Tsvetomila Mihaylova +1
Robots are finding wider adoption in human environments, increasing the need for natural human-robot interaction. However, understanding a natural language command requires the rob…
Event-Grounding Graph: Unified Spatio-Temporal Scene Graph from Robotic Observations
Phuoc Nguyen, Francesco Verdoja, Ville Kyrki
A fundamental aspect for building intelligent autonomous robots that can assist humans in their daily lives is the construction of rich environmental representations. While advance…
QuASH: Using Natural-Language Heuristics to Query Visual-Language Robotic Maps
Matti Pekkanen, Francesco Verdoja, Ville Kyrki
Embeddings from Visual-Language Models are increasingly utilized to represent semantics in robotic maps, offering an open-vocabulary scene understanding that surpasses traditional,…
IA-VLA: Input Augmentation for Vision-Language-Action models in settings with semantically complex tasks
Eric Hannus, Miika Malin, Tran Nguyen Le +1
Vision-language-action models (VLAs) have become an increasingly popular approach for addressing robot manipulation problems in recent years. However, such models need to output ac…
