Vib2Move: In-Hand Object Reconfiguration via Fingertip Micro-Vibrations
We introduce Vib2Move, a novel approach for in-hand object reconfiguration that uses fingertip micro-vibrations and gravity to precisely reposition planar objects. Our framework comprises three key innovations. First, we design a vibration-based actuator that dynamically modulates the effective finger-object friction coefficient, effectively emulating changes in gripping force. Second, we derive a sliding motion model for objects clamped in a parallel gripper with two symmetric, variable-fricti…

Kurdyka-Łojasiewicz exponent via sqaure parametrization
We consider one of the most common reparameterization techniques, the square transformation. Assuming the original objective function is the sum of a smooth function and a polyhedral function, we study the variational properties of the objective function after reparameterization. In particular, we first study the minimal norm of the subdifferential of the reparameterized objective function. Second, we compute the second subderivative of the reparameterized objective function on a linear subspac…

In-Hand Object Pose Estimation via Visual-Tactile Fusion
Accurate in-hand pose estimation is crucial for robotic object manipulation, but visual occlusion remains a major challenge for vision-based approaches. This paper presents an approach to robotic in-hand object pose estimation, combining visual and tactile information to accurately determine the position and orientation of objects grasped by a robotic hand. We address the challenge of visual occlusion by fusing visual information from a wrist-mounted RGB-D camera with tactile information from v…
