DeepCollide: Scalable Data-Driven High DoF Configuration Space Modeling using Implicit Neural Representations
Gabriel Guo, Judah Goldfeder, Aniv Ray +2
Collision detection is essential to virtually all robotics applications. However, traditional geometric collision detection methods generally require pre-existing workspace geometr…
Direct Robot Configuration Space Construction using Convolutional Encoder-Decoders
Christopher Benka, Judah Goldfeder, Carl Gross +2
Intelligent robots must be able to perform safe and efficient motion planning in their environments. Central to modern motion planning is the configuration space. Configuration spa…
Rapid grasping of fabric using bionic soft grippers with elastic instability
Zechen Xiong, Zihan Guo, Li Yuan +3
Robot grasping is subject to an inherent tradeoff: Grippers with a large span typically take a longer time to close, and fast grippers usually cover a small span. However, many pra…
Fast Untethered Soft Robotic Crawler with Elastic Instability
Zechen Xiong, Yufeng Su, Hod Lipson
High-speed locomotion of animals gives them tremendous advantages in exploring, hunting, and escaping from predators in varying environments. Enlightened by the fast-running gait o…
On the Origins of Self-Modeling
Robert Kwiatkowski, Yuhang Hu, Boyuan Chen +1
Self-Modeling is the process by which an agent, such as an animal or machine, learns to create a predictive model of its own dynamics. Once captured, this self-model can then allow…
A Massively-Parallel 3D Simulator for Soft and Hybrid Robots
Joel Clay, Sofia Wyetzner, Alex Gaudio +5
Simulation is an important step in robotics for creating control policies and testing various physical parameters. Soft robotics is a field that presents unique physical challenges…
