Robotic manipulation refers to how robots intelligently interact with the objects in their
surroundings, such as grasping and carrying an object from one place to another. Dexterous …

The development of future technologies can be highly influenced by our deeper
understanding of the principles that underlie living organisms. The Living Machines …

Tracking objects with persistence in cluttered and dynamic environments remains a difficult
challenge for computer vision systems. In this paper, we introduce TCOW, a new benchmark …

Prehensile object rearrangement in cluttered and confined spaces has broad applications
but is also challenging. For instance, rearranging products in a grocery shelf means that the …

Humans are capable of completing a range of challenging manipulation tasks that require
reasoning jointly over modalities such as vision, touch, and sound. Moreover, many such …

Finding an occluded object in a lateral access environment such as a shelf or cabinet is a
problem that arises in many contexts such as warehouses, retail, healthcare, shipping, and …

Shelves are common in homes, warehouses, and commercial settings due to their storage
efficiency. However, this efficiency comes at the cost of reduced visibility and accessibility …

We consider a novel problem where multiple rigid convex polygonal objects rest in randomly
placed positions and orientations on a planar surface visible from an overhead camera. The …

Although stacking objects increases shelves storage efficiency, the lack of visibility and
accessibility makes the mechanical search problem of revealing and extracting a target …

Efficiently searching for target objects in complex environments that contain various types of
furniture, such as shelves, tables, and beds, is crucial for mobile robots, but it poses …
