HandCept: A Visual-Inertial Fusion Framework for Accurate Proprioception in Dexterous Hands
Huang Junda, Honghao Guo, Hao Wu +3
As robotics progresses toward general manipulation, dexterous hands are becoming increasingly critical. However, proprioception in dexterous hands remains a bottleneck due to limit…
Everything-Grasping (EG) Gripper: A Universal Gripper with Synergistic Suction-Grasping Capabilities for Cross-Scale and Cross-State Manipulation
Jianshu Zhou, Jing Shu, Tianle Pan +7
Grasping objects across vastly different sizes and physical states-including both solids and liquids-with a single robotic gripper remains a fundamental challenge in soft robotics.…
Global-Local Interface for On-Demand Teleoperation
Jianshu Zhou, Boyuan Liang, Junda Huang +2
Teleoperation is a critical method for human-robot interface, holds significant potential for enabling robotic applications in industrial and unstructured environments. Existing te…
Programmable Locking Cells (PLC) for Modular Robots with High Stiffness Tunability and Morphological Adaptability
Jianshu Zhou, Wei Chen, Junda Huang +3
Robotic systems operating in unstructured environments require the ability to switch between compliant and rigid states to perform diverse tasks such as adaptive grasping, high-for…
Unified Manipulability and Compliance Analysis of Modular Soft-Rigid Hybrid Fingers
Jianshu Zhou, Boyuan Liang, Junda Huang +1
This paper presents a unified framework to analyze the manipulability and compliance of modular soft-rigid hybrid robotic fingers. The approach applies to both hydraulic and pneuma…
Prismatic-Bending Transformable (PBT) Joint for a Modular, Foldable Manipulator with Enhanced Reachability and Dexterity
Jianshu Zhou, Junda Huang, Boyuan Liang +3
Robotic manipulators, traditionally designed with classical joint-link articulated structures, excel in industrial applications but face challenges in human-centered and general-pu…
