Grasp-HGN: Grasping the Unexpected
Mehrshad Zandigohar, Mallesham Dasari, Gunar Schirner
For transradial amputees, robotic prosthetic hands promise to regain the capability to perform daily living activities. To advance next-generation prosthetic hand control design, i…
Reinforcement Learning-Based Model Matching to Reduce the Sim-Real Gap in COBRA
Adarsh Salagame, Harin Kumar Nallaguntla, Bardia Ardakanian +3
This paper employs a reinforcement learning-based model identification method aimed at enhancing the accuracy of the dynamics for our snake robot, called COBRA. Leveraging gradient…
Dynamic Posture Manipulation During Tumbling for Closed-Loop Heading Angle Control
Adarsh Salagame, Eric Sihite, Gunar Schirner +1
Passive tumbling uses natural forces like gravity for efficient travel. But without an active means of control, passive tumblers must rely entirely on external forces. Northeastern…
Non-impulsive Contact-Implicit Motion Planning for Morpho-functional Loco-manipulation
Adarsh Salagame, Kruthika Gangaraju, Harin Kumar Nallaguntla +3
Object manipulation has been extensively studied in the context of fixed base and mobile manipulators. However, the overactuated locomotion modality employed by snake robots allows…
Loco-Manipulation with Nonimpulsive Contact-Implicit Planning in a Slithering Robot
Adarsh Salagame, Kruthika Gangaraju, Harin Kumar Nallaguntla +3
Object manipulation has been extensively studied in the context of fixed base and mobile manipulators. However, the overactuated locomotion modality employed by snake robots allows…
