Bringing tactile sensation to robotic hands will allow for more effective grasping, along with the wide range of benefits of human-like touch. Here we present a 3D-printed, three-fingered tactile robot hand comprising an OpenHand Model O customized to house a TacTip soft biomimetic tactile sensor in the distal phalanx of each finger. We expect that combining the grasping capabilities of this underactuated hand with sophisticated tactile sensing will result in an effective platform for robot hand research -- the Tactile Model O (T-MO). The design uses three JeVois machine vision systems, each comprising a miniature camera in the tactile fingertip with a processing module in the base of the hand. To evaluate the capabilities of the T-MO, we benchmark its grasping performance using the Gripper Assessment Benchmark on the YCB object set. Tactile sensing capabilities are evaluated by performing tactile object classification on 26 objects and predicting whether a grasp will successfully lift each object. Results are consistent with the state of the art, taking advantage of advances in deep learning applied to tactile image outputs. Overall, this work demonstrates that the T-MO is an effective platform for robot hand research and we expect it to open-up a range of applications in autonomous object handling.

Tactile sensing is used by humans when grasping to prevent us dropping objects. One key facet of tactile sensing is slip detection, which allows a gripper to know when a grasp is failing and take action to prevent an object being dropped. This study
demonstrates the slip detection capabilities of the recently developed Tactile Model O (T-MO) by using support vector machines to detect slip and test multiple slip scenarios including responding to the onset of slip in real time with eleven different objects in various grasps. We demonstrate the benefits of slip detection in grasping by testing two real-world scenarios: adding weight to destabilise a grasp and using slip detection to lift up objects at the first attempt. The T-MO is able to detect when an object is slipping, react to stabilise the grasp and be deployed in real-world scenarios. This shows the T-MO is a suitable platform for autonomous grasping by using reliable slip detection to ensure a stable grasp in unstructured environments.

Using simulation to train robot manipulation policies holds the promise of an almost unlimited amount of training data, generated safely out of harms way. One of the key challenges of using simulation, to date, has been to bridge the reality gap, so
that policies trained in simulation can be deployed in the real world. We explore the reality gap in the context of learning a contextual policy for multi-fingered robotic grasping. We propose a Grasping Objects Approach for Tactile (GOAT) robotic hands, learning to overcome the reality gap problem. In our approach we use human hand motion demonstration to initialize and reduce the search space for learning. We contextualize our policy with the bounding cuboid dimensions of the object of interest, which allows the policy to work on a more flexible representation than directly using an image or point cloud. Leveraging fingertip touch sensors in the hand allows the policy to overcome the reduction in geometric information introduced by the coarse bounding box, as well as pose estimation uncertainty. We show our learned policy successfully runs on a real robot without any fine tuning, thus bridging the reality gap.
Vision-based grasping systems typically adopt an open-loop execution of a planned grasp. This policy can fail due to many reasons, including ubiquitous calibration error. Recovery from a failed grasp is further complicated by visual occlusion, as the
hand is usually occluding the vision sensor as it attempts another open-loop regrasp. This work presents MAT, a tactile closed-loop method capable of realizing grasps provided by a coarse initial positioning of the hand above an object. Our algorithm is a deep reinforcement learning (RL) policy optimized through the clipped surrogate objective within a maximum entropy RL framework to balance exploitation and exploration. The method utilizes tactile and proprioceptive information to act through both fine finger motions and larger regrasp movements to execute stable grasps. A novel curriculum of action motion magnitude makes learning more tractable and helps turn common failure cases into successes. Careful selection of features that exhibit small sim-to-real gaps enables this tactile grasping policy, trained purely in simulation, to transfer well to real world environments without the need for additional learning. Experimentally, this methodology improves over a vision-only grasp success rate substantially on a multi-fingered robot hand. When this methodology is used to realize grasps from coarse initial positions provided by a vision-only planner, the system is made dramatically more robust to calibration errors in the camera-robot transform.
Having the ability to estimate an objects properties through interaction will enable robots to manipulate novel objects. Objects dynamics, specifically the friction and inertial parameters have only been estimated in a lab environment with precise an
d often external sensing. Could we infer an objects dynamics in the wild with only the robots sensors? In this paper, we explore the estimation of dynamics of a grasped object in motion, with tactile force sensing at multiple fingertips. Our estimation approach does not rely on torque sensing to estimate the dynamics. To estimate friction, we develop a control scheme to actively interact with the object until slip is detected. To robustly perform the inertial estimation, we setup a factor graph that fuses all our sensor measurements on physically consistent manifolds and perform inference. We show that tactile fingertips enable in-hand dynamics estimation of low mass objects.
Tactile sensing is critical for humans to perform everyday tasks. While significant progress has been made in analyzing object grasping from vision, it remains unclear how we can utilize tactile sensing to reason about and model the dynamics of hand-
object interactions. In this work, we employ a high-resolution tactile glove to perform four different interactive activities on a diversified set of objects. We build our model on a cross-modal learning framework and generate the labels using a visual processing pipeline to supervise the tactile model, which can then be used on its own during the test time. The tactile model aims to predict the 3d locations of both the hand and the object purely from the touch data by combining a predictive model and a contrastive learning module. This framework can reason about the interaction patterns from the tactile data, hallucinate the changes in the environment, estimate the uncertainty of the prediction, and generalize to unseen objects. We also provide detailed ablation studies regarding different system designs as well as visualizations of the predicted trajectories. This work takes a step on dynamics modeling in hand-object interactions from dense tactile sensing, which opens the door for future applications in activity learning, human-computer interactions, and imitation learning for robotics.
