Joint Deformation and Contact Reasoning for Robotic Manipulation

February 27 at 10:15am

At Robotics Building (FMCRB)

Angell, Ann Arbor

🤖Watch live demos of tool-use robots
🔬Q&A with robotics researchers after
🧽See how sponges teach machines to "feel"

See robots master everyday tasks like flipping pancakes and scrubbing surfaces through cutting-edge tactile reasoning research. This PhD defense demos how machines learn to "feel" their way through contact-rich manipulation.
