Tactile MNIST: Benchmarking Active Tactile Perception
Tim Schneider, Guillaume Duret, Cristiana de Farias +3
Tactile perception has the potential to significantly enhance dexterous robotic manipulation by providing rich local information that can complement or substitute for other sensory…
In-Hand Object Pose Estimation via Visual-Tactile Fusion
Felix Nonnengießer, Alap Kshirsagar, Boris Belousov +1
Accurate in-hand pose estimation is crucial for robotic object manipulation, but visual occlusion remains a major challenge for vision-based approaches. This paper presents an appr…
Investigating Active Sampling for Hardness Classification with Vision-Based Tactile Sensors
Junyi Chen, Alap Kshirsagar, Frederik Heller +7
One of the most important object properties that humans and robots perceive through touch is hardness. This paper investigates information-theoretic active sampling strategies for…
Analysing the Interplay of Vision and Touch for Dexterous Insertion Tasks
Janis Lenz, Theo Gruner, Daniel Palenicek +2
Robotic insertion tasks remain challenging due to uncertainties in perception and the need for precise control, particularly in unstructured environments. While humans seamlessly c…
