3D shape perception from vision and touch
… been primarily relying on visual observations. Vision, however useful, has inherent limitations due to occlusions and the 2D-3D ambiguities, especially for perception with a monocular camera. In contrast, touch gets precise local shape information, though its efficiency for reconstructing the …

Robust object pose estimation with point clouds from vision and touch
… a source of dense local geometric information, and hence consider it to be a point cloud source analogous to an RGB-D camera. We incorporate the tactile geometric information directly into a conventional point-cloud-based articulated object tracker based on signed-distance functions. This …

Softbuilt : computational textiles and augmenting space through emotion
When we inhabit, wear, and make textiles we are in conversation with our pre-historical and historical past and in a sense already connected to what is to come by the structure of fabric that operates as a mode of understanding the world. Textiles bind us together as a species in every culture on …

Kant's Negative Answer to Molyneux's Question
… to his views on the relationship between vision and touch, the specific sort of concepts that are relevant, and some issues involving the schemata for these concepts. To this end, I will examine the extent to which different considerations in each of these areas lead to radically …

High-resolution tactile sensing for robotic perception
… Robots need tactile sensing to understand the physical environment, and detect the contact states during manipulation. A recently developed high-resolution tactile sensor, GelSight, which measures detailed information about the geometry and traction field on the contact surface, shows …

Polyhedra:representation and recognition
… with established representations in computer vision. The utilization of object models built using these systems require a representation conversion before they can be used in automatic sensing systems. Considerable advantages follow from building a combined CAD and sensing system based on a …

Structured model learning for adaptive robot generalists
… move from factories into homes, hospitals, and warehouses, the grand challenge is to create adaptive robot generalists: systems that can learn diverse manipulation skills, transfer knowledge across tasks and embodiments, and operate robustly under varying sensing conditions. However, robotic …

Perceptual organization and its influence upon attention
… receptors, but through our ability to understand the world around us. In order to make sense of the world around us we need to organize the information that our sensory systems receive. One of the most fundamental steps in this organizational process lies in the construction of objects. By …

Goggle Augmented Imaging and Navigation System for Fluorescence-Guided Surgery
… curative option for most solid tumors. The standard-of-care usually involves tumor resection and sentinel lymph node biopsy for cancer staging. Surgeons rely on their vision and touch to distinguish healthy from cancer tissue during surgery, often leading to incomplete tumor resection that …

Photographing the invisible: A practice based photographic investigation of different environments using peripheral vision as a phenomenological narrative on the consciousness of space and place
… effect in our interaction with the environment and it can be reduced to a spectacle rather than a multisensory experience through our use of photography. This practice-based research investigates the use of still photography to capture our peripheral interaction with the environment that we …
