Learning to Throw-Flip
Yang Liu, Bruno Da Costa, Aude Billard
Dynamic manipulation, such as robot tossing or throwing objects, has recently gained attention as a novel paradigm to speed up logistic operations. However, the focus has predomina…
Imitation-Guided Bimanual Planning for Stable Manipulation under Changing External Forces
Kuanqi Cai, Chunfeng Wang, Zeqi Li +5
Robotic manipulation in dynamic environments often requires seamless transitions between different grasp types to maintain stability and efficiency. However, achieving smooth and a…
Quantitative Outcome-Oriented Assessment of Microsurgical Anastomosis
Luyin Hu, Soheil Gholami, George Dindelegan +2
Microsurgical anastomosis demands exceptional dexterity and visuospatial skills, underscoring the importance of comprehensive training and precise outcome assessment. Currently, me…
A roadmap for AI in robotics
Aude Billard, Alin Albu-Schaeffer, Michael Beetz +8
AI technologies, including deep learning, large-language models have gone from one breakthrough to the other. As a result, we are witnessing growing excitement in robotics at the p…
Implicit Articulated Robot Morphology Modeling with Configuration Space Neural Signed Distance Functions
Yiting Chen, Xiao Gao, Kunpeng Yao +3
In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to implicitly encode precise robot morphology using forward kinematics based on a configuration space signed distance function. Our pro…
Dexterous Cable Manipulation: Taxonomy, Multi-Fingered Hand Design, and Long-Horizon Manipulation
Sun Zhaole, Xiao Gao, Xiaofeng Mao +3
Existing research that addressed cable manipulation relied on two-fingered grippers, which make it difficult to perform similar cable manipulation tasks that humans perform. Howeve…
