A vision-based tactile sensor (VBTS) is an innovative optical sensor widely applied in robotic
perception. The VBTS consists of a contact module, an illumination module, and a camera …

Retired electric-vehicle lithium-ion battery (EV-LIB) packs pose severe environmental
hazards. Efficient recovery of these spent batteries is a significant way to achieve closed …

Deformable object manipulation (DOM) is an emerging research problem in robotics. The
ability to manipulate deformable objects endows robots with higher autonomy and promises …

This work presents a new version of tactile-sensing finger, GelSlim 3.0, which integrates the
ability to sense high-resolution shape, force, and slip in a more compact form factor than …

To achieve human-level dexterity, robots must infer spatial awareness from multimodal
sensing to reason over contact interactions. During in-hand manipulation of novel objects …

Tactile sensing is a key sensor modality for robots interacting with their surroundings. These
sensors provide a rich and diverse set of data signals that contain detailed information …

We study the problem of learning to perform multistage robotic manipulation tasks, with
applications to cable routing, where the robot must route a cable through a series of clips …

Vision-based tactile sensors have the potential to provide important contact geometry to
localize the objective with visual occlusion. However, it is challenging to measure high …

Modeling and manipulating elasto-plastic objects are essential capabilities for robots to
perform complex industrial and household interaction tasks (eg, stuffing dumplings, rolling …

Gras**, in both biological and engineered mechanisms, can be highly sensitive to the
gripper and object morphology, as well as perception and motion planning. Here, we …
