Haptic search and retrieval of objects buried within granular media
Abstract
The University of California will develop haptics-enabled capabilities for field deployable mobile manipulation robots that support human-in-the-loop missions. The university will combine multimodal sensing and machine learning, informed by human strategies and granular media research, to develop new capabilities for remote human operators of field deployable mobile manipulation robots. The university will identify strategies used by humans in haptic search and retrieval tasks within granular media; identify key features in visual, tactile, and proprioceptive feedback that distinguish finger-object contact with granular media and objects, and develop a computer-based interface that can support high-level decision-making by remote human operators of bimanual robot grippers, wrists, and arms for haptic search and retrieval tasks within granular media.
