Stir to Pour: Efficient Calibration of Liquid Properties for Pouring Actions

IROS 2020poster

Humans use simple probing actions to develop intuition about the physical behavior of common objects. Such intuition is particularly useful for adaptive estimation of favorable manipulation strategies of those objects in novel contexts. For example, observing the effect of tilt on a transparent bott…

Adaptable Pouring: Teaching Robots Not to Spill using Fast but Approximate Fluid Simulation

CoRL 2017

Humans manipulate fluids intuitively using intuitive approximations of the underlying physical model. In this paper, we explore a general methodology that robots may use to develop and improve strategies for overcoming manipulation tasks associated with appropriately defined loss functions. We focus
