ISCUTE: Instance Segmentation of Cables Using Text Embedding

no code implementations19 Feb 2024 Shir Kozlovsky, Omkar Joglekar, Dotan Di Castro

In the field of robotics and automation, conventional object recognition and instance segmentation methods face a formidable challenge when it comes to perceiving Deformable Linear Objects (DLOs) like wires, cables, and flexible tubes.

An Axiomatic Approach to Model-Agnostic Concept Explanations

no code implementations12 Jan 2024 Zhili Feng, Michal Moshkovitz, Dotan Di Castro, J. Zico Kolter

Concept explanation is a popular approach for examining how human-interpretable concepts impact the predictions of a model.

CONFIDE: Contextual Finite Differences Modelling of PDEs

no code implementations28 Mar 2023 Ori Linial, Orly Avner, Dotan Di Castro

We introduce a method for inferring an explicit PDE from a data sample generated by previously unseen dynamics, based on a learned context.

GraphVid: It Only Takes a Few Nodes to Understand a Video

no code implementations4 Jul 2022 Eitan Kosman, Dotan Di Castro

We propose a concise representation of videos that encode perceptually meaningful features into graphs.

Towards Autonomous Grading In The Real World

no code implementations13 Jun 2022 Yakov Miron, Chana Ross, Yuval Goldfracht, Chen Tessler, Dotan Di Castro

As the heuristics are capable of successfully solving the task in the simulated environment, we show they can be leveraged to guide a learning agent which can generalize and solve the task both in simulation and in a scaled prototype environment.

InsertionNet 2.0: Minimal Contact Multi-Step Insertion Using Multimodal Multiview Sensory Input

no code implementations2 Mar 2022 Oren Spector, Vladimir Tchuiev, Dotan Di Castro

We address the problem of devising the means for a robot to rapidly and safely learn insertion skills with just a few human interventions and without hand-crafted rewards or demonstrations.

LSP : Acceleration and Regularization of Graph Neural Networks via Locality Sensitive Pruning of Graphs

no code implementations10 Nov 2021 Eitan Kosman, Joel Oren, Dotan Di Castro

In this paper, we take a further step towards demystifying this phenomenon and propose a systematic method called Locality-Sensitive Pruning (LSP) for graph pruning based on Locality-Sensitive Hashing.

A Hybrid Approach for Learning to Shift and Grasp with Elaborate Motion Primitives

no code implementations2 Nov 2021 Zohar Feldman, Hanna Ziesche, Ngo Anh Vien, Dotan Di Castro

Many possible fields of application of robots in real world settings hinge on the ability of robots to grasp objects.

Sim and Real: Better Together

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Shirli Di Castro Shashua, Dotan Di Castro, Shie Mannor

Simulation is used extensively in autonomous systems, particularly in robotic manipulation.

Vision-Guided Forecasting -- Visual Context for Multi-Horizon Time Series Forecasting

no code implementations27 Jul 2021 Eitan Kosman, Dotan Di Castro

We examine the contribution of vision features, and find that a model fed with vision features achieves an error that is 56. 6% and 66. 9% of the error of a model that doesn't use those features, on the Udacity and Comma2k19 datasets respectively.

InsertionNet -- A Scalable Solution for Insertion

no code implementations29 Apr 2021 Oren Spector, Dotan Di Castro

Complicated assembly processes can be described as a sequence of two main activities: grasping and insertion.

SOLO: Search Online, Learn Offline for Combinatorial Optimization Problems

no code implementations4 Apr 2021 Joel Oren, Chana Ross, Maksym Lefarov, Felix Richter, Ayal Taitler, Zohar Feldman, Christian Daniel, Dotan Di Castro

This method can equally be applied to both the offline, as well as online, variants of the combinatorial problem, in which the problem components (e. g., jobs in scheduling problems) are not known in advance, but rather arrive during the decision-making process.
