• Abstract: When manipulating an object to accomplish complex tasks, humans rely on both vision and touch to keep track of the object's 6D pose. However, most existing object pose tracking systems in robotics rely exclusively on visual signals, which hinder a robot's ability to manipulate objects effectively. To address this limitation, we introduce TEG-Track, a tactile-enhanced 6D pose tracking system that can track previously unseen objects held in hand. From consecutive tactile signals, TEG-Track optimizes object velocities from marker flows when slippage does not occur, or regresses velocities using a slippage estimation network when slippage is detected. The estimated object velocities are integrated into a geometric-kinematic optimization scheme to enhance existing visual pose trackers. To evaluate our method and to facilitate future research, we construct a real-world dataset for visual-tactile in-hand object pose tracking. Experimental results demonstrate that TEG-Track consistently enhances state-of-the-art generalizable 6D pose trackers in synthetic and real-world scenarios. Our code and dataset are available at https://github.com/leolyliu/TEG-Track.

  We propose to simplify object tracking to a reinforced point cloud (depth only) alignment task. This allows us to train a streamlined approach from scratch with limited amounts of sparse 3D point clouds. We also show that the RL agent's uncertainty and a rendering-based mask propagation are effective reinitialization triggers.

  We introduce ROFT, a Kalman filtering approach for 6D object pose and velocity tracking from a stream of RGB-D images. By leveraging real-time optical flow, ROFT synchronizes delayed outputs of low frame rate Convolutional Neural Networks for instance segmentation and 6D object pose estimation. Results demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods for 6D object pose tracking, while also providing 6D object velocity tracking.

• EagerMOT: 3D Multi-Object Tracking via Sensor Fusion [68.8204255655161]
  Multi-object tracking (MOT) enables mobile robots to perform well-informed motion planning and navigation by localizing surrounding objects in 3D space and time. Existing methods rely on depth sensors (e.g., LiDAR) to detect and track targets in 3D space, but only up to a limited sensing range due to the sparsity of the signal. We propose EagerMOT, a simple tracking formulation that integrates all available object observations from both sensor modalities to obtain a well-informed interpretation of the scene dynamics.
