Estimating Deformable-Rigid Contact Interactions for a Deformable Tool via Learning and Model-Based Optimization
Mark Van der Merwe, Miquel Oller, Dmitry Berenson +1
Dexterous manipulation requires careful reasoning over extrinsic contacts. The prevalence of deforming tools in human environments, the use of deformable sensors, and the increasin…
