Zero-shot sim-to-real transfer of tactile control policies for aggressive swing-up manipulation

no code implementations7 Jan 2021 Thomas Bi, Carmelo Sferrazza, Raffaello D'Andrea

This paper aims to show that robots equipped with a vision-based tactile sensor can perform dynamic manipulation tasks without prior knowledge of all the physical attributes of the objects to be manipulated.

Sim-to-real for high-resolution optical tactile sensing: From images to 3D contact force distributions

no code implementations21 Dec 2020 Carmelo Sferrazza, Raffaello D'Andrea

The images captured by vision-based tactile sensors carry information about high-resolution tactile fields, such as the distribution of the contact forces applied to their soft sensing surface.

A Vision-based Sensing Approach for a Spherical Soft Robotic Arm

no code implementations11 Dec 2020 Matthias Hofer, Carmelo Sferrazza, Raffaello D'Andrea

The reliability of the sensing approach is demonstrated by using the sensory feedback to control the orientation of the robotic arm in closed-loop.
