Locating and identifying objects in vision-denied environments is a critical challenge for intelligent robot systems. To address the limitation of vision, we present a tactile-only method for object search and recognition using custom tactile skin sensors on robot hands. The method involves searchin…
The human somatosensory system integrates multimodal sensory feedback, including tactile, proprioceptive, and thermal signals, to enable comprehensive perception and effective interaction with the environment. Inspired by the biological mechanism, we present a sensorized soft anthropomorphic hand eq
Out-of-distribution generalization under distributional shifts remains a critical challenge for graph neural networks. Existing methods generally adopt the Invariant Risk Minimization (IRM) framework, requiring costly environment annotations or heuristically generated synthetic splits. To circumvent…
We present DeepVCP - a novel end-to-end learning-based 3D point cloud registration framework that achieves comparable registration accuracy to prior state-of-the-art geometric methods. Different from other keypoint based methods where a RANSAC procedure is usually needed, we implement the use of var…
In this paper, we investigate the self-healing problem of mobile robot formation after some robots have been damaged, and present a gradient-based algorithm which enables mobile robots to restore the topology of the formation through local interactions among neighboring robots. Firstly, in order to…
