TacPalm: A Soft Gripper with a Biomimetic Optical Tactile Palm for Stable Precise Grasping
Xuyang Zhang, Tianqi Yang, Dandan Zhang +1
Manipulating fragile objects in environments such as homes and factories requires stable and gentle grasping along with precise and safe placement. Compared to traditional rigid gr…
Attention for Robot Touch: Tactile Saliency Prediction for Robust Sim-to-Real Tactile Control
Yijiong Lin, Mauro Comi, Alex Church +2
High-resolution tactile sensing can provide accurate information about local contact in contact-rich robotic tasks. However, the deployment of such tasks in unstructured environmen…
Sim-to-Real Model-Based and Model-Free Deep Reinforcement Learning for Tactile Pushing
Max Yang, Yijiong Lin, Alex Church +4
Object pushing presents a key non-prehensile manipulation problem that is illustrative of more complex robotic manipulation tasks. While deep reinforcement learning (RL) methods ha…
Bi-Touch: Bimanual Tactile Manipulation with Sim-to-Real Deep Reinforcement Learning
Yijiong Lin, Alex Church, Max Yang +4
Bimanual manipulation with tactile feedback will be key to human-level robot dexterity. However, this topic is less explored than single-arm settings, partly due to the availabilit…
TacMMs: Tactile Mobile Manipulators for Warehouse Automation
Zhuochao He, Xuyang Zhang, Simon Jones +3
Multi-robot platforms are playing an increasingly important role in warehouse automation for efficient goods transport. This paper proposes a novel customization of a multi-robot s…
Tac-VGNN: A Voronoi Graph Neural Network for Pose-Based Tactile Servoing
Wen Fan, Max Yang, Yifan Xing +2
Tactile pose estimation and tactile servoing are fundamental capabilities of robot touch. Reliable and precise pose estimation can be provided by applying deep learning models to h…
TIMS: A Tactile Internet-Based Micromanipulation System with Haptic Guidance for Surgical Training
Jialin Lin, Xiaoqing Guo, Wen Fan +6
Microsurgery involves the dexterous manipulation of delicate tissue or fragile structures such as small blood vessels, nerves, etc., under a microscope. To address the limitation o…
