SoftHand Model-W: A 3D-Printed, Anthropomorphic, Underactuated Robot Hand with Integrated Wrist and Carpal Tunnel
Dhillon B. Merritt, Christopher J. Ford, Haoran Li +4
This paper presents the SoftHand Model-W: a 3D-printed, underactuated, anthropomorphic robot hand based on the Pisa/IIT SoftHand, with an integrated antagonistic tendon mechanism a…
OmniVTA: Visuo-Tactile World Modeling for Contact-Rich Robotic Manipulation
Yuhang Zheng, Songen Gu, Weize Li +11
Contact-rich manipulation tasks, such as wiping and assembly, require accurate perception of contact forces, friction changes, and state transitions that cannot be reliably inferre…
MagicGripper: A Multimodal Sensor-Integrated Gripper for Contact-Rich Robotic Manipulation
Wen Fan, Haoran Li, Dandan Zhang
Contact-rich manipulation in unstructured environments demands precise, multimodal perception to enable robust and adaptive control. Vision-based tactile sensors (VBTSs) have emerg…
Design and Benchmarking of A Multi-Modality Sensor for Robotic Manipulation with GAN-Based Cross-Modality Interpretation
Dandan Zhang, Wen Fan, Jialin Lin +5
In this paper, we present the design and benchmark of an innovative sensor, ViTacTip, which fulfills the demand for advanced multi-modal sensing in a compact design. A notable feat…
