VisTacAlign: Co-Training Dexterous Policies on Tactile Human and Robot Demonstrations using Visual-Tactile Alignment

Human demonstrations are a cheap source of data for dexterous manipulation, but co-training a robot policy on them requires closing the human--robot gap in every modality the policy consumes. We present VisTacAlign, a framework for co-training 3D-visual-tactile dexterous policies on human and robot demonstrations. Glov...

SPROUT: The Open-Source Soft Growing Robot for Search and Rescue

Soft robotic systems have long been theorized as ideal candidates for use in search and rescue operations; however, there have been significant barriers to entry in graduating soft robotic systems from the laboratory to the field. To address this gap in replicable, reliable soft robot systems, we present the designs fo...
