B* is a novel optimization framework that addresses a critical challenge in fixed-base manipulator robotics: optimal base placement. Current methods rely on pre-computed kinematics databases generated through sampling to search for solutions. However, they face an inherent trade-off between solution…
Autonomous manipulation of articulated objects represents a basic skill for robots deployed in human environments. Current vision-based methods can infer object hidden kinematics, but their estimates are sometimes imprecise in driving reliable actions, especially on previously unseen objects. Tactil…
Vehicle aerodynamics optimization has become critical for automotive electrification, where drag reduction directly determines electric vehicle range and energy efficiency. Traditional approaches face an intractable trade-off: computationally expensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations…
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS) provides substantial benefits over traditional open and laparoscopic methods. However, a significant limitation of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS) is the surgeon's inability to palpate tissues, a crucial technique for examining tiss
