Next Best Sense draws upon state of the art vision models to train few-shot Gaussian Splatting scenes, and turns to impressive next best view selection methods to guide robotic manipulator next best view and touch selection in the wild.
DexFruit is a robotic manipulation framework that enables gentle, autonomous handling of fragile fruit using optical tactile sensing and introduces FruitSplat, a novel technique to represent and quantify visual damage in high-resolution 3D via Gaussian Splatting.
TensorTouch is a comprehensive framework for stress tensor estimation from 3D optical tactile sensors, combining finite element analysis with deep learning to extract detailed contact information including stress tensors, deformation fields, and force distributions at pixel-level resolution.
J-PARSE is a method for smooth first-order inverse kinematic control of serial manipulators near kinematic singularities, expanding the available workspace for applications in servoing, teleoperation, and learning.
