RoboCAP: Robotic Classification and Precision Pouring of Diverse Liquids and Granular Media with Capacitive Sensing

Yexin Hu, Alexandra Gillespie, Akhil Padmanabha, Kavya Puthuveetil, Wesley Lewis, Karan Khokar +1

IROS 2025

Liquids and granular media (e.g., oats, rice, lentils) are pervasive throughout human environments, yet remain challenging for robots to sense and manipulate precisely. In this work, we present a systematic approach to integrating capacitive sensing within robotic end effectors, enabling robust sens
