Robust and Resilient Soft Robotic Object Insertion with Compliance-Enabled Contact Formation and Failure Recovery
Mimo Shirasaka, Cristian C. Beltran-Hernandez, Masashi Hamaya +1
Object insertion tasks are prone to failure under pose uncertainty and environmental variation, often requiring manual fine-tuning or controller retraining. We present a novel appr…
SCU-Hand with Integrated Single-Sheet Valve: A Funnel-Shaped Robotic Hand for Milligram-Scale Powder Handling
Tomoya Takahashi, Yusaku Nakajima, Cristian Camilo Beltran-Hernandez +5
Laboratory Automation (LA) has the potential to accelerate solid-state materials discovery by enabling continuous robotic operation without human intervention. While robotic system…
SciPostLayoutTree: A Dataset for Structural Analysis of Scientific Posters
Shohei Tanaka, Atsushi Hashimoto, Yoshitaka Ushiku
Scientific posters play a vital role in academic communication by presenting ideas through visual summaries. Analyzing reading order and parent-child relations of posters is essent…
SciPostGen: Bridging the Gap between Scientific Papers and Poster Layouts
Shun Inadumi, Shohei Tanaka, Tosho Hirasawa +3
As the number of scientific papers continues to grow, there is a demand for approaches that can effectively convey research findings, with posters serving as a key medium for prese…
Cooperative Design Optimization through Natural Language Interaction
Ryogo Niwa, Shigeo Yoshida, Yuki Koyama +1
Designing successful interactions requires identifying optimal design parameters. To do so, designers often conduct iterative user testing and exploratory trial-and-error. This inv…
Bridging Text and Crystal Structures: Literature-driven Contrastive Learning for Materials Science
Yuta Suzuki, Tatsunori Taniai, Ryo Igarashi +4
Understanding structure-property relationships is an essential yet challenging aspect of materials discovery and development. To facilitate this process, recent studies in material…
