Neural Descriptor Fields: SE(3)-Equivariant Object Representations for Manipulation
Anthony Simeonov, Yilun Du, Andrea Tagliasacchi +4
We present Neural Descriptor Fields (NDFs), an object representation that encodes both points and relative poses between an object and a target (such as a robot gripper or a rack u…
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…
Active Extrinsic Contact Sensing: Application to General Peg-in-Hole Insertion
Sangwoon Kim, Alberto Rodriguez
We propose a method that actively estimates contact location between a grasped rigid object and its environment and uses this as input to a peg-in-hole insertion policy. An estimat…
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…
