DexDirect: Direct Kinesthetic Arm Guidance for Efficient Dexterous Demonstration Collection
Beom Jun Kim, Shiu-Jen Wang, Jonathan Liu +7
DexDirect lets a user guide a gravity‑compensated robot arm by hand while a webcam maps the user’s other hand onto a dexterous robot hand, enabling fast, low‑setup collection of ma…
RAVEN: Reinforcement-Adaptive Visibility-Graph Planning for Robust Humanoid Navigation with Collision-Free MPC
Ruochen Hou, Shiqi Wang, Beom Jun Kim +3
Humanoid navigation in dynamic environments requires long-horizon planning while respecting short-horizon dynamic and safety constraints. Classical visibility-graph planners combin…
MIDAS Hand: Modular low-Impedance Direct-drive Anthropomorphic Sensing Hand
Alvin Zhu, Mingzhang Zhu, Beom Jun Kim +3
The paper presents MIDAS Hand, an open‑source, low‑cost, human‑scale robotic hand with 16 DoF and integrated three‑axis tactile sensing, designed for easy 3D‑printed assembly and e…
MiNI-Q: A Miniature, Wire-Free Quadruped with Unbounded, Independently Actuated Leg Joints
Daniel Koh, Suraj Shah, Yufeng Wu +1
Physical joint limits are common in legged robots and can restrict workspace, constrain gait design, and increase the risk of hardware damage. This paper introduces MiNI-Q^2, a min…
DexEXO: A Wearability-First Dexterous Exoskeleton for Operator-Agnostic Demonstration and Learning
Alvin Zhu, Mingzhang Zhu, Beom Jun Kim +10
Scaling dexterous robot learning is constrained by the difficulty of collecting high-quality demonstrations across diverse operators. Existing wearable interfaces often trade comfo…
WHED: A Wearable Hand Exoskeleton for Natural, High-Quality Demonstration Collection
Mingzhang Zhu, Alvin Zhu, Jose Victor S. H. Ramos +9
Scalable learning of dexterous manipulation remains bottlenecked by the difficulty of collecting natural, high-fidelity human demonstrations of multi-finger hands due to occlusion,…
