A Dataset and Benchmark for Robotic Cloth Unfolding Grasp Selection: The ICRA 2024 Cloth Competition
Victor-Louis De Gusseme, Thomas Lips, Remko Proesmans +59
Robotic cloth manipulation suffers from a lack of standardized benchmarks and shared datasets for evaluating and comparing different approaches. To address this, we created a bench…
Multi-Layered Reasoning from a Single Viewpoint for Learning See-Through Grasping
Fang Wan, Chaoyang Song
Sensory substitution enables biological systems to perceive stimuli that are typically perceived by another organ, which is inspirational for physical agents. Multimodal perception…
A Biomimetic Vertebraic Soft Robotic Tail for High-Speed, High-Force Dynamic Maneuvering
Sicong Liu, Jianhui Liu, Fang Chen +6
Robotic tails can enhance the stability and maneuverability of mobile robots, but current designs face a trade-off between the power of rigid systems and the safety of soft ones. R…
Overconstrained Locomotion
Haoran Sun, Bangchao Huang, Zishang Zhang +11
This paper studies the design, control, and learning of a novel robotic limb that produces overconstrained locomotion by employing the Bennett linkage for motion generation, capabl…
On Flange-based 3D Hand-Eye Calibration for Soft Robotic Tactile Welding
Xudong Han, Ning Guo, Yu Jie +3
This paper investigates the direct application of standardized designs on the robot for conducting robot hand-eye calibration by employing 3D scanners with collaborative robots. Th…
Proprioceptive Learning with Soft Polyhedral Networks
Xiaobo Liu, Xudong Han, Wei Hong +2
Proprioception is the "sixth sense" that detects limb postures with motor neurons. It requires a natural integration between the musculoskeletal systems and sensory receptors, whic…
