Articulation-aware Canonical Surface Mapping [PDF]
We tackle the tasks of: 1) predicting a Canonical Surface Mapping (CSM) that indicates the mapping from 2D pixels to corresponding points on a canonical template shape, and 2) inferring the articulation and pose of the template corresponding to the input

ArtiGrasp: Physically Plausible Synthesis of Bi-Manual Dexterous Grasping and Articulation [PDF]
We present ArtiGrasp, a novel method to synthesize bimanual hand-object interactions that include grasping and articulation. This task is challenging due to the diversity of the global wrist motions and the precise finger control that are necessary to ...

Ditto in the House: Building Articulation Models of Indoor Scenes through Interactive Perception [PDF]
Virtualizing the physical world into virtual models has been a critical technique for robot navigation and planning in the real world. To foster manipulation with articulated objects in everyday life, this work explores building articulation models of ...

FlowBot3D: Learning 3D Articulation Flow to Manipulate Articulated Objects [PDF]
We explore a novel method to perceive and manipulate 3D articulated objects that generalizes to enable a robot to articulate unseen classes of objects.

CAGE: Controllable Articulation GEneration [PDF]
We address the challenge of generating 3D articulated objects in a controllable fashion. Currently, modeling artic-ulated 3D objects is either achieved through laborious manual authoring, or using methods from prior work that are hard to scale and ...

A biocatalytic peptidobiosensing molecular bridge for detecting osteosarcoma marker protein
A biosensing scheme requiring only one-step sample incubation before signal collection, and using a compact “three-in-one” probe of target-binding, signal conversion, and amplification, may greatly simplify the design of biosensors.

Harnessing the Multistability of Kresling Origami for Reconfigurable Articulation in Soft Robotic Arms [PDF]
This study examines a biology-inspired approach of using reconfigurable articulation to reduce the control requirement for soft robotic arms. We construct a robotic arm by assembling Kresling origami modules that exhibit predictable bistability.

ScrewNet: Category-Independent Articulation Model Estimation From Depth Images Using Screw Theory [PDF]
Robots in human environments will need to interact with a wide variety of articulated objects such as cabinets, drawers, and dishwashers while assisting humans in performing day-to-day tasks. Existing methods either require objects to be textured or need

Effect of small heat release and viscosity on thermal-diffusive instability
The linear stability of a thermal reaction front has been investigated based on the thermal-diffusive model proposed by Zel’dovich and Frank-Kamenetskii, which is called ZFK model.
