PUGS: Zero-shot Physical Understanding with Gaussian Splatting
Yinghao Shuai, Ran Yu, Yuantao Chen +9
Current robotic systems can understand the categories and poses of objects well. But understanding physical properties like mass, friction, and hardness, in the wild, remains chall…
Depth Restoration of Hand-Held Transparent Objects for Human-to-Robot Handover
Ran Yu, Haixin Yu, Shoujie Li +3
Transparent objects are common in daily life, while their optical properties pose challenges for RGB-D cameras to capture accurate depth information. This issue is further amplifie…
SATac: A Thermoluminescence Enabled Tactile Sensor for Concurrent Perception of Temperature, Pressure, and Shear
Ziwu Song, Ran Yu, Xuan Zhang +5
Most vision-based tactile sensors use elastomer deformation to infer tactile information, which can not sense some modalities, like temperature. As an important part of human tacti…
Growing from Exploration: A self-exploring framework for robots based on foundation models
Shoujie Li, Ran Yu, Tong Wu +3
Intelligent robot is the ultimate goal in the robotics field. Existing works leverage learning-based or optimization-based methods to accomplish human-defined tasks. However, the c…
