A CAD-Free Vision-Guided Framework for Robotic Deburring of Flexible Shoe Soles

ICRA 2026poster

Robotic sole deburring is a key, yet underexplored, challenge in footwear automation, where the deformable nature of rubber, variability of burrs, and diversity of sole geometries make automation difficult. Existing deburring approaches typically rely on CAD models or large training datasets, and of…

dPMP-Deep Probabilistic Motion Planning: A use case in Strawberry Picking Robot

IROS 2022poster

This paper presents a novel probabilistic approach to deep robot learning from demonstrations (LfD). Deep move-ment primitives (DMPs) are deterministic LfD model that maps visual information directly into a robot trajectory. This paper extends DMPs and presents a deep probabilistic model that maps t…
