Robot Learning to Communicate through Projected Visual Abstractions
Danyang Yan, Boyuan Wang, Jiaxun Liu +1
Humans routinely communicate through abstractions of their bodies, including shadows, silhouettes, and reflections. Yet robots remain largely confined to expressing themselves thro…
Extreme dynamic symmetry enables omnidirectional and multifunctional robots
Jiaxun Liu, Boxi Xia, Boyuan Chen
Symmetry is a central organizing principle in natural systems, yet its use as a unifying design strategy in robotics has largely remained limited to geometric form. We show that sy…
Text2Robot: Evolutionary Robot Design from Text Descriptions
Ryan P. Ringel, Zachary S. Charlick, Jiaxun Liu +2
Robot design has traditionally been costly and labor-intensive. Despite advancements in automated processes, it remains challenging to navigate a vast design space while producing…
SonicSense: Object Perception from In-Hand Acoustic Vibration
Jiaxun Liu, Boyuan Chen
We introduce SonicSense, a holistic design of hardware and software to enable rich robot object perception through in-hand acoustic vibration sensing. While previous studies have s…
