Riemannian geometry as a unifying theory for robot motion learning and control
Noémie Jaquier, Tamim Asfour
Riemannian geometry is a mathematical field which has been the cornerstone of revolutionary scientific discoveries such as the theory of general relativity. Despite early uses in r…
SpeedFolding: Learning Efficient Bimanual Folding of Garments
Yahav Avigal, Lars Berscheid, Tamim Asfour +2
Folding garments reliably and efficiently is a long standing challenge in robotic manipulation due to the complex dynamics and high dimensional configuration space of garments. An…
Graph-based Task-specific Prediction Models for Interactions between Deformable and Rigid Objects
Zehang Weng, Fabian Paus, Anastasiia Varava +3
Capturing scene dynamics and predicting the future scene state is challenging but essential for robotic manipulation tasks, especially when the scene contains both rigid and deform…
Learning to Shift Attention for Motion Generation
You Zhou, Jianfeng Gao, Tamim Asfour
One challenge of motion generation using robot learning from demonstration techniques is that human demonstrations follow a distribution with multiple modes for one task query. Pre…
Uncertainty-aware Contact-safe Model-based Reinforcement Learning
Cheng-Yu Kuo, Andreas Schaarschmidt, Yunduan Cui +2
This letter presents contact-safe Model-based Reinforcement Learning (MBRL) for robot applications that achieves contact-safe behaviors in the learning process. In typical MBRL, we…
A Soft Humanoid Hand with In-Finger Visual Perception
Felix Hundhausen, Julia Starke, Tamim Asfour
We present a novel underactued humanoid five finger soft hand, the KIT \softhand, which is equipped with cameras in the fingertips and integrates a high performance embedded system…
