FACTR 2: Learning External Force Sensing for Commodity Robot Arms Improves Policy Learning
Steven Oh, Jason Jingzhou Liu, Tony Tao +5
Contact-rich manipulation requires force sensitivity, but many robot arms lack dedicated force sensors due to their high cost. We present Neural External Torque Estimation (NEXT),…
DexWild: Dexterous Human Interactions for In-the-Wild Robot Policies
Tony Tao, Mohan Kumar Srirama, Jason Jingzhou Liu +2
Large-scale, diverse robot datasets have emerged as a promising path toward enabling dexterous manipulation policies to generalize to novel environments, but acquiring such dataset…
FACTR: Force-Attending Curriculum Training for Contact-Rich Policy Learning
Jason Jingzhou Liu, Yulong Li, Kenneth Shaw +3
Many contact-rich tasks humans perform, such as box pickup or rolling dough, rely on force feedback for reliable execution. However, this force information, which is readily availa…
Synthetica: Large Scale Synthetic Data for Robot Perception
Ritvik Singh, Jingzhou Liu, Karl Van Wyk +5
Vision-based object detectors are a crucial basis for robotics applications as they provide valuable information about object localisation in the environment. These need to ensure…
