Collision Detection with Analytical Derivatives of Contact Kinematics
Anup Teejo Mathew, Anees Peringal, Daniele Caradonna +2
Differentiable contact kinematics are essential for gradient-based methods in robotics, yet the mapping from robot state to contact distance, location, and normal becomes non-smoot…
Learning User Interaction Forces using Vision for a Soft Finger Exosuit
Mohamed Irfan Refai, Abdulaziz Y. Alkayas, Anup Teejo Mathew +2
Wearable assistive devices are increasingly becoming softer. Modelling their interface with human tissue is necessary to capture transmission of dynamic assistance. However, their…
A Survey on Soft Robot Adaptability: Implementations, Applications, and Prospects
Zixi Chen, Di Wu, Qinghua Guan +8
Soft robots, compared to rigid robots, possess inherent advantages, including higher degrees of freedom, compliance, and enhanced safety, which have contributed to their increasing…
Dynamic Manipulation of Deformable Objects in 3D: Simulation, Benchmark and Learning Strategy
Guanzhou Lan, Yuqi Yang, Anup Teejo Mathew +5
Goal-conditioned dynamic manipulation is inherently challenging due to complex system dynamics and stringent task constraints, particularly in deformable object scenarios character…
