PACT: Pose-Robust Actuation Co-Design for Tendon-Driven Robotic Hands
Prashant Kumar, Rachael Granberry, Taylor Niehues +2
Humanoid robotic hands must provide sufficient force, speed, and backdrivability within a human-scale envelope. Tendon-driven transmissions address this challenge by relocating act…
Tactus: Tactile & Pose Sensing Glove for Natural Dexterity Data Collection
Li Guan, Rachael Granberry, Sahar Aseeri +102
Collecting naturalistic human manipulation demonstrations with accurate contact force and hand pose is essential for robot dexterous manipulation policy and foundational world mode…
Fiber Optic Sensing Glove for High Performance Dexterous Manipulation Capture
J. D. Peiffer, Taylor Niehues, Li Guan +2
Capturing hand pose during dexterous manipulation remains difficult: vision-based methods degrade under occlusion and challenging lighting, while sensorized gloves, though occlusio…
Pose-Aware Modeling to Mitigate Pose-Related Artifacts in Tactile Gloves
Tianhong Catherine Yu, Ziyi Kou, Mia Huang +4
Tactile gloves digitize contact and force during hand-object interactions, enabling robotics applications in dexterous manipulation, teleoperation, and learning from demonstration.…
AVI-HT: Adaptive Vision-IMU Fusion for 3D Hand Tracking
Ziyi Kou, Ankit Kumar, Mia Huang +4
We present AVI-HT, an adaptive visual-IMU fusion approach for tracking 3D hand poses by jointly modeling the egocentric image with on-glove 6-DoF IMU signals. AVI-HT achieves signi…
