Material Recognition via Heat Transfer Given Ambiguous Initial Conditions
Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee, Henry M. Clever, Joshua Wade +1
Humans and robots can recognize materials with distinct thermal effusivities by making physical contact and observing temperatures during heat transfer. This works well with room t…
Assistive VR Gym: Interactions with Real People to Improve Virtual Assistive Robots
Zackory Erickson, Yijun Gu, Charles C. Kemp
Versatile robotic caregivers could benefit millions of people worldwide, including older adults and people with disabilities. Recent work has explored how robotic caregivers can le…
ContactPose: A Dataset of Grasps with Object Contact and Hand Pose
Samarth Brahmbhatt, Chengcheng Tang, Christopher D. Twigg +2
Grasping is natural for humans. However, it involves complex hand configurations and soft tissue deformation that can result in complicated regions of contact between the hand and…
Bodies at Rest: 3D Human Pose and Shape Estimation from a Pressure Image using Synthetic Data
Henry M. Clever, Zackory Erickson, Ariel Kapusta +3
People spend a substantial part of their lives at rest in bed. 3D human pose and shape estimation for this activity would have numerous beneficial applications, yet line-of-sight p…
Multimodal Material Classification for Robots using Spectroscopy and High Resolution Texture Imaging
Zackory Erickson, Eliot Xing, Bharat Srirangam +2
Material recognition can help inform robots about how to properly interact with and manipulate real-world objects. In this paper, we present a multimodal sensing technique, leverag…
