Temporal Tactile Encoding and Compliance for Intent-Aware Robot-to-Human Bimanual Handover
Pasquale Marra, Stefano Berti, Gabriele Mario Caddeo +1
Reliable robot-to-human handover requires the robot to infer when the person is ready to receive the object and release it safely, comfortably, and at the right time. This is chall…
Bayesian Active Object Recognition and 6D Pose Estimation from Multimodal Contact Sensing
Haodong Zheng, Gabriele M. Caddeo, Andrei C. Jalba +3
We present an active tactile exploration framework for joint object recognition and 6D pose estimation. The proposed method integrates wrist force/torque sensing, GelSight tactile…
Multifingered force-aware control for humanoid robots
Pasquale Marra, Gabriele M. Caddeo, Ugo Pattacini +1
In this paper, we address force-aware control and force distribution in robotic platforms with multi-fingered hands. Given a target goal and force estimates from tactile sensors, w…
FeelAnyForce: Estimating Contact Force Feedback from Tactile Sensation for Vision-Based Tactile Sensors
Amir-Hossein Shahidzadeh, Gabriele Caddeo, Koushik Alapati +3
In this paper, we tackle the problem of estimating 3D contact forces using vision-based tactile sensors. In particular, our goal is to estimate contact forces over a large range (u…
Extremum Seeking Controlled Wiggling for Tactile Insertion
Levi Burner, Pavan Mantripragada, Gabriele M. Caddeo +3
When humans perform complex insertion tasks such as pushing a cup into a cupboard, routing a cable, or putting a key in a lock, they wiggle the object and adapt the process through…
Sim2Real Bilevel Adaptation for Object Surface Classification using Vision-Based Tactile Sensors
Gabriele M. Caddeo, Andrea Maracani, Paolo D. Alfano +3
In this paper, we address the Sim2Real gap in the field of vision-based tactile sensors for classifying object surfaces. We train a Diffusion Model to bridge this gap using a relat…
Collision-aware In-hand 6D Object Pose Estimation using Multiple Vision-based Tactile Sensors
Gabriele M. Caddeo, Nicola A. Piga, Fabrizio Bottarel +1
In this paper, we address the problem of estimating the in-hand 6D pose of an object in contact with multiple vision-based tactile sensors. We reason on the possible spatial config…
