TACTIC: Tactile and Vision Conditioned Contact-Centric Control for Whole-Arm Manipulation
Rishabh Madan, Angchen Xie, Samantha Saak +7
Whole-arm manipulation involves direct contact with the environment while the robot completes a task by distributing contact across multiple links as contacts form, slide, and brea…
PrioriTouch: Adapting to User Contact Preferences for Whole-Arm Physical Human-Robot Interaction
Rishabh Madan, Jiawei Lin, Mahika Goel +10
Physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) requires robots to adapt to individual contact preferences, such as where and how much force is applied. Identifying preferences is difficul…
HHI-Assist: A Dataset and Benchmark of Human-Human Interaction in Physical Assistance Scenario
Saeed Saadatnejad, Reyhaneh Hosseininejad, Jose Barreiros +2
The increasing labor shortage and aging population underline the need for assistive robots to support human care recipients. To enable safe and responsive assistance, robots requir…
CART-MPC: Coordinating Assistive Devices for Robot-Assisted Transferring with Multi-Agent Model Predictive Control
Ruolin Ye, Shuaixing Chen, Yunting Yan +6
Bed-to-wheelchair transferring is a ubiquitous activity of daily living (ADL), but especially challenging for caregiving robots with limited payloads. We develop a novel algorithm…
