Coverage Planning for Robotic Tooth Preparation in Densely Constrained Environments
Yunwen Li, Chen Chen, Xiangjie Yan +4
Tooth preparation refers to the controlled removal of tooth structure to create an optimal substrate for fixed restorations and is a core procedure in restorative dentistry. Automa…
Structured interactions improve distributed coordination beyond model scaling in a real-world multi-robot system
Junping Wang, Zhizhong Zhang, Yongqiang Tang +5
Scaling individual robot capabilities is common but costly. Here we investigate a system-level design question in real-world multi-robot coordination: given matched hardware budget…
From swept contact to pose: Probe-aware registration via complementary-shape docking
Chen Chen, Yunwen Li, Yifan Xu +5
Accurate registration between a prior model and the real scene is essential for high-precision robotic manipulation, yet optical methods suffer from long calibration chains, line-o…
Visual Attention Based Cognitive Human-Robot Collaboration for Pedicle Screw Placement in Robot-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery
Chen Chen, Qikai Zou, Yuhang Song +4
Current orthopedic robotic systems largely focus on navigation, aiding surgeons in positioning a guiding tube but still requiring manual drilling and screw placement. The automatio…
In-Hand Following of Deformable Linear Objects Using Dexterous Fingers with Tactile Sensing
Mingrui Yu, Boyuan Liang, Xiang Zhang +6
Most research on deformable linear object (DLO) manipulation assumes rigid grasping. However, beyond rigid grasping and re-grasping, in-hand following is also an essential skill th…
