Exciting new work from the R-Pad Lab's Wenxuan Zhou and David Held features a simple gripper that can solve more complex manipulation tasks if it can utilize the external environment such as pushing the object against the table or a vertical wall, known as "Extrinsic Dexterity." From the researchers: A simple gripper can solve more [...] The post Learning to Grasp the Ungraspable with Emergent Extrinsic Dexterity appeared first on Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University.
