Planar-symmetric hands, such as parallel grippers, are widely adopted in both research and industrial fields. Their symmetry, however, introduces ambiguity and discontinuity in the SO(3) representation, which hinders both the training and inference of neural network-based grasp detectors. We propose…
In order to make robots more useful in a variety of environments, they need to be highly portable so that they can be transported to wherever they are needed, and highly storable so that they can be stored when not in use. We propose "on-site robotics", which uses parts procured at the location wher…
In recent years, a deep learning framework has been widely used for object pose estimation. While quaternion is a common choice for rotation representation, it cannot represent the ambiguity of the observation. In order to handle the ambiguity, the Bingham distribution is one promising solution. How…
The humanoid robot that can transform itself into a form according to its purpose requires whole-body motions with complex contact state transitions such as recovery from a fall and transition to the target form. To make the robot behavior in simulations closer to that in the real world for planning…
