Benchmarking Robot Manipulation With the Rubik's Cube

RA-L 2020

Benchmarks for robot manipulation are crucial to measuring progress in the field, yet there are few benchmarks that demonstrate critical manipulation skills, possess standardized metrics, and can be attempted by a wide array of robot platforms. To address a lack of such benchmarks, we propose Rubik'

Improved Proximity, Contact, and Force Sensing via Optimization of Elastomer-Air Interface Geometry

ICRA 2019poster

We describe a single fingertip-mounted sensing system for robot manipulation that provides proximity (pre-touch), contact detection (touch), and force sensing (post-touch). The sensor system consists of optical time-of-flight range measurement modules covered in a clear elastomer. Because the elasto…
