3D point cloud classification is a fundamental task in safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving, robotics, and augmented reality. However, recent studies reveal that point cloud classifiers are vulnerable to structured adversarial perturbations and geometric corruptions, posing risks
In this work, we describe a multi-object grasping benchmark to evaluate the grasping and manipulation capabilities of robotic systems in both pile and surface scenarios. The benchmark introduces three robot multi-object grasping benchmarking protocols designed to challenge different aspects of robot
This paper introduces a novel Experience Forest algorithm designed for multi-object grasping (MOG). Different from single-object grasping, for MOG, the hand poses of a few steps before the end of grasping play important roles in the success of MOG. But similar to single-object grasping, the hand pos
Empowering Large Language Models (LLMs) with distinct human-like personality traits has become an innovative task for developing advanced dialog systems.Although LLMs demonstrate impressive capabilities in following instructions, directly prompting them to exhibit certain personalities through manua…
Benefiting from massive corpora and advanced hardware, large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable capabilities in language understanding and generation. However, their performance degrades in scenarios where multiple tasks are encountered sequentially, also known as catastrophic forgetting. In…
In a typical fulfillment center, the order fulfilling process is managed by a warehouse management system (WMS). For efficiency, WMS usually applies batch picking, also called multi-order picking, to collect the same items for multiple orders. Suppose an item appears in multiple orders, instead of r…
This paper proposes 12 multi-object grasps (MOGs) types from a human and robot grasping data set. The grasp types are then analyzed and organized into a MOG taxonomy. This paper first presents three MOG data collection setups: a human finger tracking setup for multi-object grasping demonstrations, a…
A human hand can grasp a desired number of objects at once from a pile based solely on tactile sensing. To do so, a robot needs to make a grasp in a pile, sense the number of objects in the grasp before lifting, and predict how many will remain in the grasp after lifting. It is a very challenging pr…
Humans perform the task of pouring often and in which exhibit consistent accuracy regardless of the complicated dynamics of the liquid. Model predictive control (MPC) appears to be a natural candidate solution for the task of accurate pouring considering its wide use in industrial applications. Howe…
