Propeller-Assisted Robust 3D Hopping Robot with Hierarchical Force Allocation
Chuhan Zhang, Hongbo Zhang, Yanlin Chen +4
Monopedal hopping robots are conceptually simple but highly dynamic and inherently unstable. Achieving robust 3D hopping is still difficult because ground reaction forces are avail…
VibNet: Vibration-Boosted Needle Detection in Ultrasound Images
Dianye Huang, Chenyang Li, Angelos Karlas +4
Precise percutaneous needle detection is crucial for ultrasound (US)-guided interventions. However, inherent limitations such as speckles, needle-like artifacts, and low resolution…
Learning to Hop for a Single-Legged Robot with Parallel Mechanism
Hongbo Zhang, Xiangyu Chu, Yanlin Chen +4
This work presents the application of reinforcement learning to improve the performance of a highly dynamic hopping system with a parallel mechanism. Unlike serial mechanisms, para…
DOFS: A Real-world 3D Deformable Object Dataset with Full Spatial Information for Dynamics Model Learning
Zhen Zhang, Xiangyu Chu, Yunxi Tang +1
This work proposes DOFS, a pilot dataset of 3D deformable objects (DOs) (e.g., elasto-plastic objects) with full spatial information (i.e., top, side, and bottom information) using…
