GIFT: Geometry-Induced Functional Transfer for Category-Level Object Manipulation

ICRA 2026poster

Robotic manipulation of unfamiliar objects in new environments is challenging due to limited generalisation capabilities. We propose a new skill transfer framework, GIFT (Geometry-Induced Functional Transfer), which enables a robot to transfer complex object manipulation skills and constraints from …

Automatic Spinal Canal Breach Detection During Pedicle Screw Placement

RA-L 2024

Precise pedicle screw placement is imperative for a range of spinal procedures demanding exact geometric alignment while also carrying inherent risks. The literature reports a complication rate in the case of screw mispositioning of up to 18%. To increase the accuracy of pedicle screw placement, we

Task-Informed Grasping of Partially Observed Objects

RA-L 2024

In this letter, we address the problem of task-informed grasping in scenarios where only incomplete or partial object information is available. Existing methods, which either focus on task-aware grasping or grasping under partiality, typically require extensive data and long training durations. In c

3D Spectral Domain Registration-Based Visual Servoing

ICRA 2023poster

This paper presents a spectral domain registration-based visual servoing scheme that works on 3D point clouds. Specifically, we propose a 3D model/point cloud alignment method, which works by finding a global transformation between reference and target point clouds using spectral analysis. A 3D Fast…

TriRod: A 3-RF Continuum Parallel Robot for Shape-Based Load Estimation

RA-L 2023

In this letter, we will discuss the design, modelling, and estimation of load based on the shape of a newly developed parallel continuum robot called TriRod. The proposed kinematic architecture consists of three flexible rods attached at their lower extremity to three rotating actuators. The robot i

Grasp Transfer for Deformable Objects by Functional Map Correspondence

ICRA 2022poster

Handling object deformations for robotic grasping is still a major problem to solve. In this paper, we propose an efficient learning-free solution for this problem where generated grasp hypotheses of a region of an object are adapted to its deformed configurations. To this end, we investigate the ap…
