One of the most important, yet challenging, skills for a dexterous robot is grasping a diverse range of objects. Much of the prior work has been limited by speed, generality, or reliance on depth maps and object poses. In this paper, we…
In this work, we tackle the problem of learning universal robotic dexterous grasping from a point cloud observation under a table-top setting. The goal is to grasp and lift up objects in high-quality and diverse ways and generalize across…
Many objects, such as tools and household items, can be used only if grasped in a very specific way - grasped functionally. Often, a direct functional grasp is not possible, though. We propose a method for learning a dexterous pre-grasp…
Dexterous manipulation requires careful reasoning over extrinsic contacts. The prevalence of deforming tools in human environments, the use of deformable sensors, and the increasing number of soft robots yields a need for approaches that…
