RoboPanoptes: The All-seeing Robot with Whole-body Dexterity
Xiaomeng Xu, Dominik Bauer, Shuran Song
We present RoboPanoptes, a capable yet practical robot system that achieves whole-body dexterity through whole-body vision. Its whole-body dexterity allows the robot to utilize its…
DeformGS: Scene Flow in Highly Deformable Scenes for Deformable Object Manipulation
Bardienus P. Duisterhof, Zhao Mandi, Yunchao Yao +8
Teaching robots to fold, drape, or reposition deformable objects such as cloth will unlock a variety of automation applications. While remarkable progress has been made for rigid o…
Real2Code: Reconstruct Articulated Objects via Code Generation
Zhao Mandi, Yijia Weng, Dominik Bauer +1
We present Real2Code, a novel approach to reconstructing articulated objects via code generation. Given visual observations of an object, we first reconstruct its part geometry usi…
DoughNet: A Visual Predictive Model for Topological Manipulation of Deformable Objects
Dominik Bauer, Zhenjia Xu, Shuran Song
Manipulation of elastoplastic objects like dough often involves topological changes such as splitting and merging. The ability to accurately predict these topological changes that…
