Unfettered Forceful Skill Acquisition with Physical Reasoning and Coordinate Frame Labeling
William Xie, Max Conway, Yutong Zhang +1
Vision language models (VLMs) exhibit vast knowledge of the physical world, including intuition of physical and spatial properties, affordances, and motion. With fine-tuning, VLMs…
A Machine Learning Approach to Contact Localization in Variable Density Three-Dimensional Tactile Artificial Skin
Carson Kohlbrenner, Mitchell Murray, Yutong Zhang +5
Estimating the location of contact is a primary function of artificial tactile sensing apparatuses that perceive the environment through touch. Existing contact localization method…
A versatile robotic hand with 3D perception, force sensing for autonomous manipulation
Nikolaus Correll, Dylan Kriegman, Stephen Otto +1
We describe a force-controlled robotic gripper with built-in tactile and 3D perception. We also describe a complete autonomous manipulation pipeline consisting of object detection,…
Software Engineering for Robotics: Future Research Directions; Report from the 2023 Workshop on Software Engineering for Robotics
Claire Le Goues, Sebastian Elbaum, David Anthony +7
Robots are experiencing a revolution as they permeate many aspects of our daily lives, from performing house maintenance to infrastructure inspection, from efficiently warehousing…
Optimal decision making in robotic assembly and other trial-and-error tasks
James Watson, Nikolaus Correll
Uncertainty in perception, actuation, and the environment often require multiple attempts for a robotic task to be successful. We study a class of problems providing (1) low-entrop…
Improving grasp performance using in-hand proximity and contact sensing
Radhen Patel, Rebecca Cox, Branden Romero +1
We describe the grasping and manipulation strategy that we employed at the autonomous track of the Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Competition at IROS 2016. A salient feature of…
