A Differentiable Recipe for Learning Visual Non-Prehensile Planar Manipulation
Bernardo Aceituno, Alberto Rodriguez, Shubham Tulsiani +2
Specifying tasks with videos is a powerful technique towards acquiring novel and general robot skills. However, reasoning over mechanics and dexterous interactions can make it chal…
Tactile-RL for Insertion: Generalization to Objects of Unknown Geometry
Siyuan Dong, Devesh K. Jha, Diego Romeres +3
Object insertion is a classic contact-rich manipulation task. The task remains challenging, especially when considering general objects of unknown geometry, which significantly lim…
Extrinsic Contact Sensing with Relative-Motion Tracking from Distributed Tactile Measurements
Daolin Ma, Siyuan Dong, Alberto Rodriguez
This paper addresses the localization of contacts of an unknown grasped rigid object with its environment, i.e., extrinsic to the robot. We explore the key role that distributed ta…
GelSlim3.0: High-Resolution Measurement of Shape, Force and Slip in a Compact Tactile-Sensing Finger
Ian Taylor, Siyuan Dong, Alberto Rodriguez
This work presents a new version of the tactile-sensing finger GelSlim 3.0, which integrates the ability to sense high-resolution shape, force, and slip in a compact form factor fo…
Planning for Multi-stage Forceful Manipulation
Rachel Holladay, Tomás Lozano-Pérez, Alberto Rodriguez
Multi-stage forceful manipulation tasks, such as twisting a nut on a bolt, require reasoning over interlocking constraints over discrete as well as continuous choices. The robot mu…
Tactile Object Pose Estimation from the First Touch with Geometric Contact Rendering
Maria Bauza, Eric Valls, Bryan Lim +2
In this paper, we present an approach to tactile pose estimation from the first touch for known objects. First, we create an object-agnostic map from real tactile observations to c…
