Our work aims to reconstruct hand-held objects given a single RGB image. In contrast to prior works that typically assume known 3D templates and reduce the problem to 3D pose estimation, our work reconstructs generic hand-held object…

This paper proposes a vision-based framework for a 7-degree-of-freedom robotic manipulator, with the primary objective of facilitating its capacity to acquire information from human hand demonstrations for the execution of dexterous…

We propose a novel pipeline for unknown object grasping in shared robotic autonomy scenarios. State-of-the-art methods for fully autonomous scenarios are typically learning-based approaches optimised for a specific end-effector, that…

We present an AND/OR graph-based, integrated multi-robot task and motion planning approach which (i) performs task allocation coordinating the activity of a given number of robots, and (ii) is capable of handling tasks which involve an a…

Correct-by-construction manipulation planning in a dynamic environment, where other agents can manipulate objects in the workspace, is a challenging problem. The tight coupling of actions and motions between agents and complexity of mission…

To aid humans in everyday tasks, robots need to know which objects exist in the scene, where they are, and how to grasp and manipulate them in different situations. Therefore, object recognition and grasping are two key functionalities for…

This paper presents the development of a control system for vision-guided pick-and-place tasks using a robot arm equipped with a 3D camera. The main steps include camera intrinsic and extrinsic calibration, hand-eye calibration, initial…

Planning dual-arm assembly of more than three objects is a challenging Task and Motion Planning (TAMP) problem. The assembly planner shall consider not only the pose constraints of objects and robots, but also the gravitational constraints…

The ability to successfully grasp objects is crucial in robotics, as it enables several interactive downstream applications. To this end, most approaches either compute the full 6D pose for the object of interest or learn to predict a set…

We propose Synchronous Dual-Arm Rearrangement Planner (SDAR), a task and motion planning (TAMP) framework for tabletop rearrangement, where two robot arms equipped with 2-finger grippers must work together in close proximity to rearrange…

Object manipulation for rearrangement into a specific goal state is a significant task for collaborative robots. Accurately determining object placement is a key challenge, as misalignment can increase task complexity and the risk of…

General-purpose object placement is a fundamental capability of an intelligent generalist robot: being capable of rearranging objects following precise human instructions even in novel environments. This work is dedicated to achieving…

Object-goal visual navigation requires robots to reason over semantic structure and act effectively under partial observability. Recent approaches based on object-level topological maps enable long-horizon navigation without dense geometric…

Reliably planning fingertip grasps for multi-fingered hands lies as a key challenge for many tasks including tool use, insertion, and dexterous in-hand manipulation. This task becomes even more difficult when the robot lacks an accurate…

Autonomous multi-finger grasping is a fundamental capability in robotic manipulation. Optimization-based approaches show strong performance, but tend to be sensitive to initialization and are potentially time-consuming. As an alternative,…

This paper addresses non-prehensile rearrangement planning problems where a robot is tasked to rearrange objects among obstacles on a planar surface. We present an efficient planning algorithm that is designed to impose few assumptions on…

Safe navigation around obstacles is a fundamental challenge for highly dynamic robots. The state-of-the-art approach for adapting simple reference path planners to complex robot dynamics using trajectory optimization and tracking control is…

The ability to plan for multi-step manipulation tasks in unseen situations is crucial for future home robots. But collecting sufficient experience data for end-to-end learning is often infeasible in the real world, as deploying robots in…

How can a delivery robot navigate reliably to a destination in a new office building, with minimal prior information? To tackle this challenge, this paper introduces a two-level hierarchical approach, which integrates model-free deep…

Robots will be expected to manipulate a wide variety of objects in complex and arbitrary ways as they become more widely used in human environments. As such, the rearrangement of objects has been noted to be an important benchmark for AI…
