Universal Semantic-Geometric Priors for Zero-Shot Robotic Manipulation

NSH 3305

Abstract: Visual imitation learning has shown promising results in robotic manipulation in recent years. However, its generalization to unseen objects is often limited by the size and diversity of training data. Although more large-scale robotic datasets are available, they remain significantly smaller than image and text datasets. Additionally, scaling these datasets is time-consuming and labor-intensive, [...]

Advancing Multimodal Sensing and Robotic Interfaces for Chronic Care

NSH 3305

Abstract: The healthcare system prioritizes reactive care for acute illnesses, often overlooking the ongoing needs of individuals with chronic conditions that require long-term management and personalized care. Addressing this gap through technology can empower patients to better manage their conditions, enhancing independence and quality of life. Multimodal sensing, incorporating inertial, acoustic, and vision-based sensors, within [...]
