placement and robustness against external contact. Towards addressing these challenges …

Tactile regrasp: Grasp adjustments via simulated tactile transformations

FR Hogan, M Bauza, O Canal, E Donlon… - 2018 IEEE/RSJ …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper presents a novel regrasp control policy that makes use of tactile sensing to plan
local grasp adjustments. Our approach determines regrasp actions by virtually searching for …

Learning to grasp without seeing

A Murali, Y Li, D Gandhi, A Gupta - International symposium on …, 2018 - Springer
Can a robot grasp an unknown object without seeing it? In this paper, we present a tactile-
sensing based approach to this challenging problem of gras** novel objects without prior …

In-hand object pose estimation using covariance-based tactile to geometry matching

J Bimbo, S Luo, K Althoefer… - IEEE Robotics and …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This letter presents a strategy to represent data from a tactile array sensor and match it to an
object's geometric features. Using that representation, a method is presented to localise a …

Pose estimation for planar contact manipulation with manifold particle filters

MC Koval, NS Pollard… - The International Journal …, 2015 - journals.sagepub.com
We investigate the problem of using contact sensors to estimate the pose of an object during
planar pushing by a fixed-shape hand. Contact sensors are unique because they inherently …

Pre-and post-contact policy decomposition for planar contact manipulation under uncertainty

MC Koval, NS Pollard… - The International Journal …, 2016 - journals.sagepub.com
We consider the problem of using real-time feedback from contact sensors to create closed-
loop pushing actions. To do so, we formulate the problem as a partially observable Markov …
