Vision-guided Autonomous Dual-arm Extraction Robot for Bell Pepper Harvesting
Kshitij Madhav Bhat, Tom Gao, Abhishek Mathur +4
Agricultural robotics has emerged as a critical solution to the labor shortages and rising costs associated with manual crop harvesting. Bell pepper harvesting, in particular, is a…
SPLATART: Articulated Gaussian Splatting with Estimated Object Structure
Stanley Lewis, Vishal Chandra, Tom Gao +1
Representing articulated objects remains a difficult problem within the field of robotics. Objects such as pliers, clamps, or cabinets require representations that capture not only…
Invisible Watermarks: Attacks and Robustness
Dongjun Hwang, Sungwon Woo, Tom Gao +2
As Generative AI continues to become more accessible, the case for robust detection of generated images in order to combat misinformation is stronger than ever. Invisible watermark…
NARF24: Estimating Articulated Object Structure for Implicit Rendering
Stanley Lewis, Tom Gao, Odest Chadwicke Jenkins
Articulated objects and their representations pose a difficult problem for robots. These objects require not only representations of geometry and texture, but also of the various c…
