Tactile Model O: Fabrication and testing of a 3d-printed, three-fingered tactile robot hand
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Overall, this work demonstrates that the T-MO is an effective platform for robot hand research and we expect it to open-up a range of applications in autonomous object handling. ...
Here we present a 3D-printed, three-fingered tactile robot hand comprising an OpenHand Model O customized to house a TacTip soft biomimetic tactile sensor in the distal phalanx of each finger. ...
JJ and LC were supported by the EPSRC CDT in Future Autonomous and Robotic Systems (FARSCOPE). AC was supported by Google DeepMind. ...

Where's my mesh? An exploratory study on model-free grasp planning
2021
The capability of manipulating objects is fundamental for robots in order to interact and integrate in the environment they are deployed in. ...
In the attempt to model such a use case, in this Thesis we consider a target scenario consisting of a surface cluttered with everyday household objects and we explore different approaches to grasp planning ...
The research work summarized in this Thesis mainly focuses on the grasp planning stage. ...

Multimodality in VR: A survey
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
In this survey, we review the body of work addressing multimodality in VR, and its role and benefits in user experience, together with different applications that leverage multimodality in many disciplines ...
In VR, users integrate multimodal sensory information they receive, to create a unified perception of the virtual world. ...
In other cases, physical space is constrained, and manipulating user's movement may allow to reduce the necessary physical space to complete a task [169] . ...

Teaching NICO How to Grasp: An Empirical Study on Crossmodal Social Interaction as a Key Factor for Robots Learning From Humans
2020
Frontiers in Neurorobotics
To begin the learning process, an object is placed into NICO's hand, and if this object is accidentally dropped, the human assistant has to recover it. ...
In contrast to methods like motor babbling, the learning process is, in part, supported by a human teacher. ...
