SCANS: A Soft Gripper with Curvature and Spectroscopy Sensors for In-Hand Material Differentiation
Nathaniel Hanson, Austin Allison, Charles DiMarzio +2
We introduce the soft curvature and spectroscopy (SCANS) system: a versatile, electronics-free, fluidically actuated soft manipulator capable of assessing the spectral properties o…
Field Calibration of Hyperspectral Cameras for Terrain Inference
Nathaniel Hanson, Benjamin Pyatski, Samuel Hibbard +5
Intra-class terrain differences such as water content directly influence a vehicle's ability to traverse terrain, yet RGB vision systems may fail to distinguish these properties. E…
PROSPECT: Precision Robot Spectroscopy Exploration and Characterization Tool
Nathaniel Hanson, Gary Lvov, Vedant Rautela +4
Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is widely used in industrial quality control and automation to test the purity and grade of items. In this research, we propose a novel sensorized…
Hyper-Drive: Visible-Short Wave Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging Datasets for Robots in Unstructured Environments
Nathaniel Hanson, Benjamin Pyatski, Samuel Hibbard +2
Hyperspectral sensors have enjoyed widespread use in the realm of remote sensing; however, they must be adapted to a format in which they can be operated onboard mobile robots. In…
