Inferring Articulated Rigid Body Dynamics from RGBD Video

Being able to reproduce physical phenomena ranging from light interaction to contact mechanics, simulators are becoming increasingly useful in more and more application domains where real-world interaction or labeled data are difficult to obtain. …

Robotic Lime Picking by Considering Leaves as Permeable Obstacles

The problem of robotic lime picking is challeng- ing; lime plants have dense foliage which makes it difficult for a robotic arm to grasp a lime without coming in contact with leaves. Existing approaches either do not consider leaves, or treat them as …
