Very pleased that our work "Placing by Touching: An empirical study on the importance of tactile sensing for precise object placing" with Luca Lach, Niklas Funk, @skadge, Helge Ritter, and Jan Peters got accepted at #IROS2023!


We are honored to be nominated for the Best Paper Award on Mobile Manipulation for the second year in a row #IROS2023. Congratulations to the first co-authors of our paper Niklas Funk and Luca Lach. Also congratulations to the winners!


We are super excited to share the #air_hockey_challenge competition between Autonomous Learning Robots Lab and Idiap Research Institute on real robots! Join our #NeurIPS2023 workshop on 15. Dec and learn more details: tinyurl.com/588zww7f Full game: ā¦r-hockey-challenge.robot-learning.net




Researchers from Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group and LASR Lab present a novel, open-source event-based optical #tactilesensor called Evetac. By applying this sensor, the researchers are able to create fast and robust closed-loop grasp controllers for manipulation. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10598ā¦


Our competition retrospective on the Robot Air Hockey Challenge 2023 has been accepted in the dataset and benchmark track at NeurIPS Conference 2024! See you at the conference, but in the meantime, you can take a look at the videos here ā¦r-hockey-challenge.robot-learning.net


Join us at Conference on Robot Learning in the afternoon for an inspiring lineup of talks and posters on robotic assembly! Check out how manufacturing and construction are the perfect arenas for roboticists to tackle complex manipulation challenges and drive real-world impact.



Super excited to share our work on force estimation for the GelSight, Inc. mini optical tactile sensor! š We introduce FEATSāFinite Element Analysis (FEA) for Tactile Sensingāa U-net that predicts 3D force distributions from tactile images leveraging FEA. Why does it matter? š
