Visuo-Acoustic Hand Pose and Contact Estimation
Yuemin Mao, Uksang Yoo, Yunchao Yao +5
Accurately estimating hand pose and hand-object contact events is essential for robot data-collection, immersive virtual environments, and biomechanical analysis, yet remains chall…
Web2Grasp: Learning Functional Grasps from Web Images of Hand-Object Interactions
Hongyi Chen, Yunchao Yao, Yufei Ye +8
Functional grasping is essential for enabling dexterous multi-finger robot hands to manipulate objects effectively. Prior work largely focuses on power grasps, which only involve h…
Soft Robotic Dynamic In-Hand Pen Spinning
Yunchao Yao, Uksang Yoo, Jean Oh +2
Dynamic in-hand manipulation remains a challenging task for soft robotic systems that have demonstrated advantages in safe compliant interactions but struggle with high-speed dynam…
Automating Robot Failure Recovery Using Vision-Language Models With Optimized Prompts
Hongyi Chen, Yunchao Yao, Ruixuan Liu +2
Current robot autonomy struggles to operate beyond the assumed Operational Design Domain (ODD), the specific set of conditions and environments in which the system is designed to f…
DeformGS: Scene Flow in Highly Deformable Scenes for Deformable Object Manipulation
Bardienus P. Duisterhof, Zhao Mandi, Yunchao Yao +8
Teaching robots to fold, drape, or reposition deformable objects such as cloth will unlock a variety of automation applications. While remarkable progress has been made for rigid o…
Occlusion-Aware 2D and 3D Centerline Detection for Urban Driving via Automatic Label Generation
David Paz, Narayanan E. Ranganatha, Srinidhi K. Srinivas +2
This research work seeks to explore and identify strategies that can determine road topology information in 2D and 3D under highly dynamic urban driving scenarios. To facilitate th…
Can you text what is happening? Integrating pre-trained language encoders into trajectory prediction models for autonomous driving
Ali Keysan, Andreas Look, Eitan Kosman +4
In autonomous driving tasks, scene understanding is the first step towards predicting the future behavior of the surrounding traffic participants. Yet, how to represent a given sce…
