(1/n) In our work, J-PARSE @sguptasarma.bsky.social @peasant98.bsky.social @hao12450.bsky.social provide a method of entering singular poses, and if you start extremely close to singular poses (small float point value), the ability to exit the singular configuration as well.

Collaborative #Robotics is the next frontier! The last few decades have focused on robotic autonomy, and we have seen some amazing things. But it's time for #Robotics to get to the hard tasks, less gimmicks, and more practical assistance and teammate understanding.

#GaussianSplat are a fantastic new tool to visually represent a scene. By combining them with language models and semantics #Robots can perform manipulation tasks on command. Read more here: splatmover.github.io
#Robotics #Nerfs #research

Humans grasp objects from flat surfaces using a variety of methods: tapping, fingernail, pinch. Can #Robotics do the same? Check out our nominated best paper DenseTact-mini in #icra2024 that explores this: sites.google.com/view/denseta...

#Robotics can greatly improve #Prosthetics by endowing them with intelligence through advanced situational awareness and human intent estimation. Our work "ProACT: An Augmented Reality Testbed for Intelligent Prosthetic Arms" presents a virtual tested and control methods arm.stanford.edu/proact

Can a wearable sensor predict where you might walk? We present "Egocentric Scene-aware Human Trajectory Prediction" predicting someone's path from a front facing camera leveraging semantic information in the scene, learn more here: mmego.weizhuowang.com

Touch-GS: Visual-Tactile Supervised 3D Gaussian Splatting
Check out our latest work on Touch improved Gaussian Splatting (NeRF)! How can touch give accurate depth for complex, reflective and transparent objects? Our method is modular to NeRF methods webpage: armlabstanford.github.io/touch-gs

Imagine a robot being able to assist in telemedicine by palpating a patient looking for abnormalities to draw a doctor's attention? We use DenseTact to palpate a soft sponge surface and find and efficiently map clusters of lumps beneath the surface: arxiv.org/abs/2308.11087

When is tactile sensing critical for dexterous manipulation as opposed to just external vision? Can a soft fingertip improve manipulation ability? Can robots manipulate objects between their fingers? We explore this in our recent work: arxiv.org/abs/2308.16480 video: youtu.be/l-pjQV-se-o?...
