• Abstract: Deformable linear objects (e.g., cables, ropes, and threads) commonly appear in our everyday lives. However, perception of these objects and the study of physical interaction with them is still a growing area. There have already been successful methods to model and track deformable linear objects. However, the number of methods that can automatically extract the initial conditions in non-trivial situations for these methods has been limited, and they have been introduced to the community only recently. On the other hand, while physical interaction with these objects has been done with ground manipulators, there have not been any studies on physical interaction and manipulation of the deformable linear object with aerial robots. This workshop describes our recent work on detecting deformable linear objects, which uses the segmentation output of the existing methods to provide the initialization required by the tracking methods automatically. It works with crossings and can fill the gaps and occlusions in the segmentation and output the model desirable for physical interaction and simulation. Then we present our work on using the method for tasks such as routing and manipulation with the ground and aerial robots. We discuss our feasibility analysis on extending the physical interaction with these objects to aerial manipulation applications.

  Articulated object manipulation requires precise object interaction, where the object's axis must be carefully considered. Previous research employed interactive perception for manipulating articulated objects, but typically, open-loop approaches often suffer from overlooking the interaction dynamics. We present a closed-loop pipeline integrating interactive perception with online axis estimation from segmented 3D point clouds.

  We learn a sequence of actions that utilize the environment to change the object's pose. Our approach can control the object's state through exploiting interactions between the object, the gripper, and the environment. We evaluate our approach on picking box-shaped objects of various weight, shape, and friction properties from a constrained table-top workspace.

  This work addresses the problem of transferring a grasp experience or a demonstration to a novel object that shares shape similarities with objects the robot has previously encountered. We employ a single expert grasp demonstration to learn an implicit local surface representation model from a small dataset of object meshes. At inference time, this model is used to transfer grasps to novel objects by identifying the most geometrically similar surfaces to the one on which the expert grasp is demonstrated.

  We study the problem of object discovery -- separating objects from the background without manual labels. Existing approaches utilize appearance cues, such as color, texture, and location, to group pixels into object-like regions. We choose to focus on dynamic objects -- entities that can move independently in the world.

  This paper proposes an approach for detecting deformable one-dimensional objects which can handle crossings and occlusions. Our algorithm takes an image containing a deformable object and outputs a chain of fixed-length cylindrical segments connected with passive spherical joints. Our tests and experiments have shown that the method can correctly detect deformable one-dimensional objects in various complex conditions.

Our experiments confirm that we can estimate posterior distributions of physical properties, such as elasticity, friction and scale of highly deformable objects, such as cloth and ropes.
