Force estimation is crucial for robotics, human--machine interaction, and industrial automation. However, traditional methods are often hindered by high cost, mechanical wear, and limited accuracy in dynamic scenarios. Vision-based tactile sensing provides a promising alternative, yet existing appro…
Vision-language foundation models (VLMs), such as CLIP, exhibit remarkable performance across a wide range of tasks. However, deploying these models can be unreliable when significant distribution gaps exist between training and test data, while fine-tuning for diverse scenarios is often costly. Cac…
Robotic hand tool use has garnered significant attention from robotics researchers, because it enhances dexterity beyond the limitations imposed by manipulators with fixed tool configurations and human-involved manual tool changes. Despite extensive research, current methodologies predominantly focu
In this paper, we present the TacShade: a newly designed 3D-printed soft optical tactile sensor. The sensor is developed for shape reconstruction under the inspiration of sketch drawing that uses the density of sketch lines to draw light and shadow, resulting in the creation of a 3D-view effect. Tac…
