RAVEN: Reinforcement-Adaptive Visibility-Graph Planning for Robust Humanoid Navigation with Collision-Free MPC

Ruochen Hou, Shiqi Wang, Beom Jun Kim, Hanzhang Fang, Mehak Singal, Dennis W. Hong

Humanoid navigation in dynamic environments requires long-horizon planning while respecting short-horizon dynamic and safety constraints. Classical visibility-graph planners combined with model predictive control (MPC) can efficiently generate collision-free trajectories, but the…

MIDAS Hand: Modular low-Impedance Direct-drive Anthropomorphic Sensing Hand

Alvin Zhu, Mingzhang Zhu, Beom Jun Kim, Quanyou Wang, Jose Victor S. H. Ramos, Dennis Hong

Dexterous manipulation is limited not only by algorithms but by a shortage of accessible hand hardware that combines human-scale morphology, ease of manufacturing or maintenance, tactile sensing, and practical cost. Existing dexterous hands tend to optimize some of these properti…
