Task-Aware Environment Augmentation for Reliable Navigation via Shielded Conditional Diffusion
Bharawee Phoompho, Gokul Puthumanaillam, Yan Miao +4
Reliable trajectory planning under partial observability depends not only on computing a feasible geometric path, but also on whether the robot receives informative observations wh…
KnotDLO: Toward Interpretable Knot Tying
Holly Dinkel, Raghavendra Navaratna, Jingyi Xiang +3
This work presents KnotDLO, a method for one-handed Deformable Linear Object (DLO) knot tying that is robust to occlusion, repeatable for varying rope initial configurations, inter…
DLO-Splatting: Tracking Deformable Linear Objects Using 3D Gaussian Splatting
Holly Dinkel, Marcel Büsching, Alberta Longhini +5
This work presents DLO-Splatting, an algorithm for estimating the 3D shape of Deformable Linear Objects (DLOs) from multi-view RGB images and gripper state information through pred…
GSFeatLoc: Visual Localization Using Feature Correspondence on 3D Gaussian Splatting
Jongwon Lee, Timothy Bretl
In this paper, we present a method for localizing a query image with respect to a precomputed 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) scene representation. First, the method uses 3DGS to rend…
The Impact of Time Step Frequency on the Realism of Robotic Manipulation Simulation for Objects of Different Scales
Minh Q. Ta, Holly Dinkel, Hameed Abdul-Rashid +5
This work evaluates the impact of time step frequency and component scale on robotic manipulation simulation accuracy. Increasing the time step frequency for small-scale objects is…
