Tactile sensors supply useful information during the interaction with an object that can be used for assessing the stability of a grasp. Most of the previous works on this topic processed tactile readings as signals by calculating hand-picked features. Some of them have processed these readings as images calculating characteristics on matrix-like sensors. In this work, we explore how non-matrix sensors (sensors with taxels not arranged exactly in a matrix) can be processed as tactile images as well. In addition, we prove that they can be used for predicting grasp stability by training a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with them. We captured over 2500 real three-fingered grasps on 41 everyday objects to train a CNN that exploited the local connectivity inherent on the non-matrix tactile sensors, achieving 94.2% F1-score on predicting stability.

Tactile sensors provide useful contact data during the interaction with an object which can be used to accurately learn to determine the stability of a grasp. Most of the works in the literature represented tactile readings as plain feature vectors o r matrix-like tactile images, using them to train machine learning models. In this work, we explore an alternative way of exploiting tactile information to predict grasp stability by leveraging graph-like representations of tactile data, which preserve the actual spatial arrangement of the sensors taxels and their locality. In experimentation, we trained a Graph Neural Network to binary classify grasps as stable or slippery ones. To train such network and prove its predictive capabilities for the problem at hand, we captured a novel dataset of approximately 5000 three-fingered grasps across 41 objects for training and 1000 grasps with 10 unknown objects for testing. Our experiments prove that this novel approach can be effectively used to predict grasp stability.
Rotational displacement about the grasping point is a common grasp failure when an object is grasped at a location away from its center of gravity. Tactile sensors with soft surfaces, such as GelSight sensors, can detect the rotation patterns on the contacting surfaces when the object rotates. In this work, we propose a model-based algorithm that detects those rotational patterns and measures rotational displacement using the GelSight sensor. We also integrate the rotation detection feedback into a closed-loop regrasping framework, which detects the rotational failure of grasp in an early stage and drives the robot to a stable grasp pose. We validate our proposed rotation detection algorithm and grasp-regrasp system on self-collected dataset and online experiments to show how our approach accurately detects the rotation and increases grasp stability.

The concept of realism in quantum mechanics means that results of measurement are caused by physical variables, hidden or observable. Local hidden variables were proved unable to explain results of measurements on entangled particles tested far away from one another. Then, some physicists embraced the idea of nonlocal hidden variables. The present article proves that this idea is problematic, that it runs into an impasse vis-`a-vis the special relativity.
Robotic grasp detection is a fundamental capability for intelligent manipulation in unstructured environments. Previous work mainly employed visual and tactile fusion to achieve stable grasp, while, the whole process depending heavily on regrasping, which wastes much time to regulate and evaluate. We propose a novel way to improve robotic grasping: by using learned tactile knowledge, a robot can achieve a stable grasp from an image. First, we construct a prior tactile knowledge learning framework with novel grasp quality metric which is determined by measuring its resistance to external perturbations. Second, we propose a multi-phases Bayesian Grasp architecture to generate stable grasp configurations through a single RGB image based on prior tactile knowledge. Results show that this framework can classify the outcome of grasps with an average accuracy of 86% on known objects and 79% on novel objects. The prior tactile knowledge improves the successful rate of 55% over traditional vision-based strategies.
Simulators perform an important role in prototyping, debugging and benchmarking new advances in robotics and learning for control. Although many physics engines exist, some aspects of the real-world are harder than others to simulate. One of the aspe cts that have so far eluded accurate simulation is touch sensing. To address this gap, we present TACTO -- a fast, flexible and open-source simulator for vision-based tactile sensors. This simulator allows to render realistic high-resolution touch readings at hundreds of frames per second, and can be easily configured to simulate different vision-based tactile sensors, including GelSight, DIGIT and OmniTact. In this paper, we detail the principles that drove the implementation of TACTO and how they are reflected in its architecture. We demonstrate TACTO on a perceptual task, by learning to predict grasp stability using touch from 1 million grasps, and on a marble manipulation control task. We believe that TACTO is a step towards the widespread adoption of touch sensing in robotic applications, and to enable machine learning practitioners interested in multi-modal learning and control. TACTO is open-source at https://github.com/facebookresearch/tacto.
