Manipulation via Force Distribution at Contact
Haegu Lee, Yitaek Kim, Casper Hewson Rask +1
Efficient and robust trajectories play a crucial role in contact-rich manipulation, which demands accurate mod- eling of object-robot interactions. Many existing approaches rely on…
Trajectory Optimization for In-Hand Manipulation with Tactile Force Control
Haegu Lee, Yitaek Kim, Victor Melbye Staven +1
The strength of the human hand lies in its ability to manipulate small objects precisely and robustly. In contrast, simple robotic grippers have low dexterity and fail to handle sm…
Minimizing Conservatism in Safety-Critical Control for Input-Delayed Systems via Adaptive Delay Estimation
Yitaek Kim, Ersin Das, Jeeseop Kim +3
Input delays affect systems such as teleoperation and wirelessly autonomous connected vehicles, and may lead to safety violations. One promising way to ensure safety in the presenc…
Robust Adaptive Safe Robotic Grasping with Tactile Sensing
Yitaek Kim, Jeeseop Kim, Albert H. Li +2
Robotic grasping requires safe force interaction to prevent a grasped object from being damaged or slipping out of the hand. In this vein, this paper proposes an integrated framewo…
Tac2Motion: Contact-Aware Reinforcement Learning with Tactile Feedback for Robotic Hand Manipulation
Yitaek Kim, Casper Hewson Rask, Christoffer Sloth
This paper proposes Tac2Motion, a contact-aware reinforcement learning framework to facilitate the learning of contact-rich in-hand manipulation tasks, such as removing a lid. To t…
Robust Adaptive Time-Varying Control Barrier Function with Application to Robotic Surface Treatment
Yitaek Kim, Christoffer Sloth
Set invariance techniques such as control barrier functions (CBFs) can be used to enforce time-varying constraints such as keeping a safe distance from dynamic objects. However, ex…
