Multi-Stable and Origami-based Soft Robots

Bi- and multi-stable structures, as well as origami structures, can rapidly release elastic energy during transitions between different equilibrium shapes. These snap-through transitions between stable configurations are characterized by rapid […]

Learning Meets Model-Based Methods for Contact-Rich Manipulation

This workshop explores the challenge of enabling robots to autonomously handle complex, contact-rich interactions. Traditionally, model-based methods have provided structured frameworks for planning and control, while recent learning-based methods have […]

Nonverbal Cues for Human-Robot Cooperative Intelligence

Humans can perceive social cues and the interaction context of another human to infer internal states including cognitive and emotional states, empathy, and intention. This unique ability to infer internal […]
