Motion Planning around Obstacles with Convex Optimization
Tobia Marcucci, Mark Petersen, David von Wrangel +1
Trajectory optimization offers mature tools for motion planning in high-dimensional spaces under dynamic constraints. However, when facing complex configuration spaces, cluttered w…
Finding and Optimizing Certified, Collision-Free Regions in Configuration Space for Robot Manipulators
Alexandre Amice, Hongkai Dai, Peter Werner +2
Configuration space (C-space) has played a central role in collision-free motion planning, particularly for robot manipulators. While it is possible to check for collisions at a po…
SEED: Series Elastic End Effectors in 6D for Visuotactile Tool Use
H. J. Terry Suh, Naveen Kuppuswamy, Tao Pang +3
We propose the framework of Series Elastic End Effectors in 6D (SEED), which combines a spatially compliant element with visuotactile sensing to grasp and manipulate tools in the w…
Learning Models as Functionals of Signed-Distance Fields for Manipulation Planning
Danny Driess, Jung-Su Ha, Marc Toussaint +1
This work proposes an optimization-based manipulation planning framework where the objectives are learned functionals of signed-distance fields that represent objects in the scene.…
Lyapunov-stable neural-network control
Hongkai Dai, Benoit Landry, Lujie Yang +2
Deep learning has had a far reaching impact in robotics. Specifically, deep reinforcement learning algorithms have been highly effective in synthesizing neural-network controllers…
Variable compliance and geometry regulation of Soft-Bubble grippers with active pressure control
Sihah Joonhigh, Naveen Kuppuswamy, Andrew Beaulieu +2
While compliant grippers have become increasingly commonplace in robot manipulation, finding the right stiffness and geometry for grasping the widest variety of objects remains a k…
