Safe Autonomous Environmental Contact for Soft Robots Using Control Barrier Functions

ICRA 2026poster

Robots built from soft materials will inherently apply lower environmental forces than their rigid counterparts, and therefore may be more suitable in sensitive settings with unintended contact. However, these robots' applied forces result from both their design and their control system in closed-lo…

Improving 3D Semi-supervised Learning by Effectively Utilizing All Unlabelled Data

ECCV 2024poster

"Semi-supervised learning (SSL) has shown its effectiveness in learning effective 3D representation from a small amount of labelled data while utilizing large unlabelled data. Traditional semi-supervised approaches rely on the fundamental concept of predicting pseudo-labels for unlabelled data and i…

Numerical Simulation of an Untethered Omni-Directional Star-Shaped Swimming Robot

ICRA 2021poster

Simulating the swimming of soft underwater robot remains challenging due to the absence of an efficient numerical framework that can effectively capture the geometrically nonlinear deformation of soft materials and structures when interacting with a liquid environment. Here, we address this by intro…
