Many activities during physical robotic caregiving require a robot to come in contact with a human not just at the end-effector but over the entire robot arm including the joints. For a robot to sense and perceive these contact events and leverage them for whole-arm manipulation,

People with severe mobility limitations might have dysphagia, which is a condition that makes it difficult to swallow food items. For example, 80% of people with ALS and 80% of people with Parkinson's disease have dysphagia, so they need soft diet food. However, bite acquisition

Exciting news! Sarah Ha presented her paper REPeat: A Real2Sim2Real Approach for Pre-acquisition of Soft Food Items in Robot Assisted Feeding at IROS! Check out these moments from her presentation. For more information check x.com/nekovowo/statu… #IROS2024

SplatOverflow: Asynchronous Hardware Troubleshooting TL;DR: That's probably the most creative application of 3DGS I have ever seen :) Abstract (excerpt): SplatOverflow creates a novel boundary object, the SplatOverflow scene, that users reference to communicate about hardware.

We finalized our Phase 2 (Real-world Phase) venue! Our competition proposal was accepted at ICRA 2025 in Atlanta🎉 IEEE ICRA Here’s the timeline: 🗓️ Phase 1 ends: Dec 23, 2024 🗓️ Phase 2 participants announced: Dec 30, 2024 So far, 56 teams are participating, tackling:

"#AI will never create clean meshes" AI 👇 This is the new #AI model from NVIDIA called Meshtron (jeez what a name 😅). It generates meshes of complex 3D objects closely resembling those created by professional artists. It opens the door to a more realistic generation of

Everything you love about generative models — now powered by real physics! Announcing the Genesis project — after a 24-month large-scale research collaboration involving over 20 research labs — a generative physics engine able to generate 4D dynamical worlds powered by a physics

This year, I’ve had the privilege of working with an amazing group of volunteers at Wonderful Wheelchairs (WWC) here in Ithaca, NY! 🛠️❤️ The amazing people at WWC repaired and recycled rollators and manual and powered wheelchairs and even sent shipments of mobility aids to

We’re thrilled to announce the teams moving forward to Phase 2 of the PhyRC Challenge! A huge congratulations to all the selected teams! In this next stage, you will compete with real robot prizes sponsored by Kinova and Hello Robot. 🔹 Track 1 (Robot-assisted

Super excited to share our work on robot-assisted transferring!

Humans can easily perform complex contact-rich tasks with vision and touch, but these tasks remain challenging for robots. How can we resolve this from both the algorithm side and the data side? Introducing Reactive Diffusion Policy (RDP),a slow-fast imitation learning algorithm

A Blender addon that connects Gaia's VBD simulator with Blender, exciting! Definitely worth checkout if you want to use VBD in Blender! superhivemarket.com/products/veedy… Nice work glukoz!

Thank you, Unity for Humanity Grant, for the support and opportunity to share our project with the community. And thank EmPRISE Lab team for the work put into this project!

It’s so exciting to see people coming and participating in the competition!
