Robot control for tactile feedback based manip-ulation can be difficult due to modeling of physical contacts, partial observability of the environment, and noise in perception and control. This work focuses on solving partial observability of contact-rich manipulation tasks as a Sequence-to-Sequence…
Simulation to real (Sim-to-Real) is an attractive approach to construct controllers for robotic tasks that are easier to simulate than to analytically solve. Working Sim-to-Real solutions have been demonstrated for tasks with a clear single objective such as "reach the target". Real world applicatio…
In this paper, we present a holistic system for automating the motion of a rolling microrobot for protein crystal harvesting. The RodBot, which was introduced in previous work, is able to perform noncontact manipulation of microscopic objects such as fragile crystals by trapping them in an induced v…
