OSMO: Open-Source Tactile Glove for Human-to-Robot Skill Transfer
Jessica Yin, Haozhi Qi, Youngsun Wi +7
Human video demonstrations provide abundant training data for learning robot policies, but video alone cannot capture the rich contact signals critical for mastering manipulation.…
Dexterity from Smart Lenses: Multi-Fingered Robot Manipulation with In-the-Wild Human Demonstrations
Irmak Guzey, Haozhi Qi, Julen Urain +10
Learning multi-fingered robot policies from humans performing daily tasks in natural environments has long been a grand goal in the robotics community. Achieving this would mark si…
Using Fiber Optic Bundles to Miniaturize Vision-Based Tactile Sensors
Julia Di, Zdravko Dugonjic, Will Fu +11
Vision-based tactile sensors have recently become popular due to their combination of low cost, very high spatial resolution, and ease of integration using widely available miniatu…
Tactile Beyond Pixels: Multisensory Touch Representations for Robot Manipulation
Carolina Higuera, Akash Sharma, Taosha Fan +8
We present Sparsh-X, the first multisensory touch representations across four tactile modalities: image, audio, motion, and pressure. Trained on ~1M contact-rich interactions colle…
Self-supervised perception for tactile skin covered dexterous hands
Akash Sharma, Carolina Higuera, Chaithanya Krishna Bodduluri +9
We present Sparsh-skin, a pre-trained encoder for magnetic skin sensors distributed across the fingertips, phalanges, and palm of a dexterous robot hand. Magnetic tactile skins off…
Enhance Vision-based Tactile Sensors via Dynamic Illumination and Image Fusion
Artemii Redkin, Zdravko Dugonjic, Mike Lambeta +1
Vision-based tactile sensors use structured light to measure deformation in their elastomeric interface. Until now, vision-based tactile sensors such as DIGIT and GelSight have bee…
