GelLink: A Compact Multi-phalanx Finger with Vision-based Tactile Sensing and Proprioception

ICRA 2024poster

Compared to fully-actuated robotic end-effectors, underactuated ones are generally more adaptive, robust, and cost-effective. However, state estimation for underactuated hands is usually more challenging. Vision-based tactile sensors, like Gelsight, can mitigate this issue by providing high-resoluti…

Causal Reasoning in Simulation for Structure and Transfer Learning of Robot Manipulation Policies

ICRA 2021poster

We present CREST, an approach for causal reasoning in simulation to learn the relevant state space for a robot manipulation policy. Our approach conducts interventions using internal models, which are simulations with approximate dynamics and simplified assumptions. These interventions elicit the st…
