Controlling illumination can generate high quality information about object surface normals
and depth discontinuities at a low computational cost. In this work we demonstrate a robot …

… We choose to illuminate the robot workspace with low angle of incidence lighting, with …
shaped light panels larger than our objects and mount the robot so the center of the robot’s …

… Hence, while considerable research has been devoted to robotic manipulation of objects
using 3D data (eg RGB-D images, point clouds) [50, 60, 33, 46], many of these algorithms …

… Through simulated manipulation tasks, we show that this framework is more sample efficient
… Finally, we deploy our learned policies onto a real robot. Please see our supplementary …

… By harnessing this mechanism, we can continuously transform the shape of the robotic … this
on-demand shape morphing, we show the ability of the robotic surface to manipulate objects, …

… for robotic object manipulation tasks in natural, domestic environments. Given complex
fetch-and-carry robot … with respect to different types of robotic manipulation tasks. This paper is …

… The Phantom haptic interface is a three degree of freedom robot manipulator. It is exceptional
in terms of its high bandwidth and high spatial and force resolution [Massie,1993]. There is …

… This thesis develops techniques fo r robots to transfer parts from a known position and
orientation to a goal position and orientation , and to orient parts by bringing them from an …

… Borrowing a term from experimental psychology (Skinner 1938), we call such a process "robot
shaping". In this book we advocate an approach to robot shaping based on reinforcement …

… robot workspace-scaled controlled illumination approach that generates high quality information
for table top scale objects for robotic manipulation. … We show that this approach to shape …
