This paper presents AffordIt!, a tool for adding affordances to the component parts of a virtual
object. Following 3D scene reconstruction and segmentation procedures, domain experts …

Affordance Templates (ATs) are a method for parameterizing objects for autonomous robot
manipulations. In this approach, instances of an object are registered by positioning a model …

Remotely programming robots to execute tasks often relies on registering objects of interest
in the robot's environment. Frequently, these tasks involve articulating objects such as …

In this paper we present AffordIt!, a tool for adding affordances to the component parts of a
virtual object. Following 3D scene reconstruction and segmentation procedures, users find …

Assigning a motion to movable parts in 3D scanned objects is important for various
applications, such as virtual reality and robotics simulation. We call this problem joint …

Robot grasping applications are faced with challenges and limitations leading to errors that
affect their performance and accuracy. Although these errors are reduced in expensive …

In this paper, we present an easy to use sketch-based interface to extract geometries and
generate affordance files from 3D point clouds for robot-object interaction tasks. Using our …

Augmented Reality's (AR) scope and capabilities have grown considerably in the last few
years. AR applications can be run across devices such as phones, wearables, and head …

For many years, successful applications of robotics were the domain of controlled
environments, such as industrial assembly lines. Such environments are custom designed …
