Soft robotic fingers require precise proprioception of both global deformation and local contact to enable safe and dexterous manipulation. Vision-based methods can reconstruct overall shape but struggle under severe occlusion, while audio-only approaches provide complementary cues but lack spatial …
Humans effortlessly integrate common-sense knowledge with sensory input from vision and touch to understand their surroundings. Emulating this capability, we introduce FusionSense, a novel 3D reconstruction framework that enables robots to fuse priors from foundation models with highly sparse observ
Lithic Use-Wear Analysis (LUWA) using microscopic images is an underexplored vision-for-science research area. It seeks to distinguish the worked material which is critical for understanding archaeological artifacts material interactions tool functionalities and dental records. However this challeng…
Pneumatic soft robots present many advantages in manipulation tasks. Notably, their inherent compliance makes them safe and reliable in unstructured and fragile environments. However, full-body shape sensing for pneumatic soft robots is challenging because of their high degrees of freedom and comple…
