Fundamental Limitations in Performance and Interpretability of Common Planar Rigid-Body Contact Models
Nima Fazeli, Samuel Zapolsky, Evan Drumwright +1
The ability to reason about and predict the outcome of contacts is paramount to the successful execution of many robot tasks. Analytical rigid-body contact models are used extensiv…
Learning Data-Efficient Rigid-Body Contact Models: Case Study of Planar Impact
Nima Fazeli, Samuel Zapolsky, Evan Drumwright +1
In this paper we demonstrate the limitations of common rigid-body contact models used in the robotics community by comparing them to a collection of data-driven and data-reinforced…
Sampling-based Planning of In-Hand Manipulation with External Pushes
Nikhil Chavan-Dafle, Alberto Rodriguez
This paper presents a sampling-based planning algorithm for in-hand manipulation of a grasped object using a series of external pushes. A high-level sampling-based planning framewo…
A Summary of Team MIT's Approach to the Amazon Picking Challenge 2015
Kuan-Ting Yu, Nima Fazeli, Nikhil Chavan-Dafle +4
The Amazon Picking Challenge (APC), held alongside the International Conference on Robotics and Automation in May 2015 in Seattle, challenged roboticists from academia and industry…
