Multi-Resolution Tactile Imitation Learning for Contact-Rich Robotic Manipulation
Rickmer Krohn, Erik Helmut, Niklas Funk +3
Touch sensing is beneficial for solving a wide variety of manipulation tasks. While there exists a wide range of tactile sensors with different properties, exploiting the fusion of…
Neuromorphic BrailleNet: Accurate and Generalizable Braille Reading Beyond Single Characters through Event-Based Optical Tactile Sensing
Naqash Afzal, Niklas Funk, Erik Helmut +2
Conventional robotic Braille readers typically rely on discrete, character-by-character scanning, limiting reading speed and disrupting natural flow. Vision-based alternatives ofte…
Tactile-Conditioned Diffusion Policy for Force-Aware Robotic Manipulation
Erik Helmut, Niklas Funk, Tim Schneider +2
Contact-rich manipulation depends on applying the correct grasp forces throughout the manipulation task, especially when handling fragile or deformable objects. Most existing imita…
Learning Force Distribution Estimation for the GelSight Mini Optical Tactile Sensor Based on Finite Element Analysis
Erik Helmut, Luca Dziarski, Niklas Funk +2
Contact-rich manipulation remains a major challenge in robotics. Optical tactile sensors like GelSight Mini offer a low-cost solution for contact sensing by capturing soft-body def…
Evetac: An Event-based Optical Tactile Sensor for Robotic Manipulation
Niklas Funk, Erik Helmut, Georgia Chalvatzaki +2
Optical tactile sensors have recently become popular. They provide high spatial resolution, but struggle to offer fine temporal resolutions. To overcome this shortcoming, we study…
