Robotic manipulation by pushing at a single point with constant velocity : modeling and techniques
… with a view to enable the manipulation of common household objects such as bins or coffee tables by a simple mobile robot. The investigation is limited to objects which possess a flat base and are able to slide on a flat, horizontal support surface. The derivation of a mathematical model is …

Dense visual learning for robot manipulation
… we demonstrate contact-rich tasks manipulating household objects, including generalizing across a class of objects, manipulating deformable objects, and manipulating a textureless symmetrical object, all with closed-loop, real-time vision-based manipulation policies.

Discovering, Learning, and Exploiting Visual Cues
… then exploit multi-view reflections to convert household objects into radiance-field cameras that can image the world from the object's perspective in 5D. This enables applications of occlusion imaging, beyond field-of-view novel-view synthesis, and depth estimation from objects to their …

Enhancing Capabilities of Assistive Robotic Arms: Learning, Control, and Object Manipulation
… diverse tasks, manipulate different types of objects, and simplify user control of these complex, high-dimensional systems. This thesis is structured around three key contributions. First, we introduce a method for assistive robots to autonomously learn complex, high-dimensional behaviors in a …

Ultra high frequency (UHF) radio-frequency identification (RFID) for robot perception and mobile manipulation
… in this thesis, we specifically focus on tagging objects. Owing to their low-cost and passive (battery-free) operation, users can apply UHF RFID tags to hundreds of objects throughout their homes. The tags provide two valuable properties for robots: a unique identifier and receive signal strength …

Evaluation of PFAS in Environmental Solids: Retention Devices and a Screening Method
… sources of PFAS contamination as PFAS-containing household objects burn and release PFAS; sediment retention devices deployed after these disasters are likely exposed to PFAS in stormwater runoff. To determine if PFAS sorption occurs on these devices, samples of SiltSoxx and straw wattle deployed …
