- 用柔性电容式传感器实现全指覆盖触觉感知
- 在演示学习框架中成功完成物体翻转和绕盒缠带任务
- 支持跨设备校准,适用于真实机器人在线强化学习
人类皮肤能对大面积曲面区域的有意与无意接触事件进行精准定位。本工作提出DexSkin,一种柔软、可贴合的电容式电子皮肤,具备高灵敏度、局部化且可校准的触觉感知能力,可适配不同几何形状。通过将该传感器应用于平行夹爪手指,实现几乎全覆盖的触觉感知。我们在演示学习框架下验证其在复杂抓取任务中的有效性,如手部物体翻转和弹性带绕盒操作。结果表明,关键在于数据驱动方法中,DexSkin可通过校准实现模型跨传感器实例迁移,并成功应用于真实机器人上的在线强化学习。实验表明其在现实世界接触密集型操作学习中的适用性与实用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Human skin provides a rich tactile sensing stream, localizing intentional and unintentional contact events over a large and contoured region. Replicating these tactile sensing capabilities for dexterous robotic manipulation systems remains a longstanding challenge. In this work, we take a step towards this goal by introducing DexSkin. DexSkin is a soft, conformable capacitive electronic skin that enables sensitive, localized, and calibratable tactile sensing, and can be tailored to varying geometries. We demonstrate its efficacy for learning downstream robotic manipulation by sensorizing a pair of parallel jaw gripper fingers, providing tactile coverage across almost the entire finger surfaces. We empirically evaluate DexSkin's capabilities in learning challenging manipulation tasks that require sensing coverage across the entire surface of the fingers, such as reorienting objects in hand and wrapping elastic bands around boxes, in a learning-from-demonstration framework. We then show that, critically for data-driven approaches, DexSkin can be calibrated to enable model transfer across sensor instances, and demonstrate its applicability to online reinforcement learning on real robots. Our results highlight DexSkin's suitability and practicality for learning real-world, contact-rich manipulation.
