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.

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?...
