Universal Manipulation Exoskeleton: Learning Compliant Whole-body Policies with Real-time Torque Feedback
Litian Liang, Jingxi Xu, Xinda Qi +7
For robots to work safely in household environments, they need to be compliant and react to torque and force feedback during contact. However, the majority of existing data collect…
Long-Reach Robotic Manipulation for Assembly and Outfitting of Lunar Structures
Stanley Wang, Venny Kojouharov, Long Yin Chung +2
Future infrastructure construction on the lunar surface will require semi- or fully-autonomous operation from robots deployed at the build site. In particular, tasks such as electr…
Using Fiber Optic Bundles to Miniaturize Vision-Based Tactile Sensors
Julia Di, Zdravko Dugonjic, Will Fu +11
Vision-based tactile sensors have recently become popular due to their combination of low cost, very high spatial resolution, and ease of integration using widely available miniatu…
TacCap: A Wearable FBG-Based Tactile Sensor for Seamless Human-to-Robot Skill Transfer
Chengyi Xing, Hao Li, Yi-Lin Wei +6
Tactile sensing is essential for dexterous manipulation, yet large-scale human demonstration datasets lack tactile feedback, limiting their effectiveness in skill transfer to robot…
Grasp as You Say: Language-guided Dexterous Grasp Generation
Yi-Lin Wei, Jian-Jian Jiang, Chengyi Xing +5
This paper explores a novel task "Dexterous Grasp as You Say" (DexGYS), enabling robots to perform dexterous grasping based on human commands expressed in natural language. However…
Whisker-Inspired Tactile Sensing: A Sim2Real Approach for Precise Underwater Contact Tracking
Hao Li, Chengyi Xing, Saad Khan +2
Aquatic mammals, such as pinnipeds, utilize their whiskers to detect and discriminate objects and analyze water movements, inspiring the development of robotic whiskers for sensing…
