Few-shot Scooping Under Domain Shift via Simulated Maximal Deployment Gaps
Yifan Zhu, Pranay Thangeda, Erica L Tevere +5
Autonomous lander missions on extraterrestrial bodies need to sample granular materials while coping with domain shifts, even when sampling strategies are extensively tuned on Eart…
Analysis and Perspectives on the ANA Avatar XPRIZE Competition
Kris Hauser, Eleanor Watson, Joonbum Bae +25
The ANA Avatar XPRIZE was a four-year competition to develop a robotic "avatar" system to allow a human operator to sense, communicate, and act in a remote environment as though ph…
Integrating Open-World Shared Control in Immersive Avatars
Patrick Naughton, James Seungbum Nam, Andrew Stratton +1
Teleoperated avatar robots allow people to transport their manipulation skills to environments that may be difficult or dangerous to work in. Current systems are able to give opera…
Learning and Autonomy for Extraterrestrial Terrain Sampling: An Experience Report from OWLAT Deployment
Pranay Thangeda, Ashish Goel, Erica Tevere +6
Extraterrestrial autonomous lander missions increasingly demand adaptive capabilities to handle the unpredictable and diverse nature of the terrain. This paper discusses the deploy…
3D Force and Contact Estimation for a Soft-Bubble Visuotactile Sensor Using FEM
Jing-Chen Peng, Shaoxiong Yao, Kris Hauser
Soft-bubble tactile sensors have the potential to capture dense contact and force information across a large contact surface. However, it is difficult to extract contact forces dir…
