DYMO-Hair: Generalizable Volumetric Dynamics Modeling for Robot Hair Manipulation
Chengyang Zhao, Uksang Yoo, Arkadeep Narayan Chaudhury +4
Hair care is an essential daily activity, yet it remains inaccessible to individuals with limited mobility and challenging for autonomous robot systems due to the fine-grained phys…
PneuGelSight: Soft Robotic Vision-Based Proprioception and Tactile Sensing
Ruohan Zhang, Uksang Yoo, Yichen Li +2
Soft pneumatic robot manipulators are popular in industrial and human-interactive applications due to their compliance and flexibility. However, deploying them in real-world scenar…
Visuo-Acoustic Hand Pose and Contact Estimation
Yuemin Mao, Uksang Yoo, Yunchao Yao +5
Accurately estimating hand pose and hand-object contact events is essential for robot data-collection, immersive virtual environments, and biomechanical analysis, yet remains chall…
Modeling Personalized Difficulty of Rehabilitation Exercises Using Causal Trees
Nathaniel Dennler, Zhonghao Shi, Uksang Yoo +2
Rehabilitation robots are often used in game-like interactions for rehabilitation to increase a person's motivation to complete rehabilitation exercises. By adjusting exercise diff…
KineSoft: Learning Proprioceptive Manipulation Policies with Soft Robot Hands
Uksang Yoo, Jonathan Francis, Jean Oh +1
Underactuated soft robot hands offer inherent safety and adaptability advantages over rigid systems, but developing dexterous manipulation skills remains challenging. While imitati…
Soft and Compliant Contact-Rich Hair Manipulation and Care
Uksang Yoo, Nathaniel Dennler, Eliot Xing +4
Hair care robots can help address labor shortages in elderly care while enabling those with limited mobility to maintain their hair-related identity. We present MOE-Hair, a soft ro…
