Publication number: 20260350741Abstract: A device comprising a hand-held manipulator and a camera assembly configured to capture a field of view encompassing a workspace centered on a forward-projecting axis and at least one visual feature angularly displaced by at least 90 degrees from the forward-projecting axis. The wide-angle field of view enables robust spatial tracking and mapping even when the workspace is occluded or the manipulator is operating in confined environments. A video processing system processes the video data to generate training information for robotic manipulation tasks, using bimanual Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM) and other computer vision techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2025Publication date: November 5, 2026Inventors: Andrew James Barry, Peter Raymond Florence, Andy Zeng, John Bryan Carter, Erin Koksal, Samantha N. Castellanos

Publication number: 20260346434Abstract: Examples relate to a system for generating robot training data. A gripper device mountable to a user's hand includes a first finger rotatable inward by thumb force and a second finger rotatable inward by finger force, with a camera assembly mounted to capture image data of the fingers and workspace. The transmissionless design enables direct actuation by the user's digits, providing intuitive control and haptic feedback. The camera assembly captures both the manipulation workspace and surrounding environment to enable robust visual tracking. The device features integrated visual markers and compliant regions that provide grip position and force feedback without requiring sensors. The captured image data is used to train computational models that control robot manipulators having matching visual and mechanical properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2025Publication date: November 5, 2026Inventors: Andrew James Barry, Peter Raymond Florence, Andy Zeng, Erin Koksal, Samantha N.

Publication number: 20260001219Abstract: A transporter network for determining robot actions based on sensor feedback can afford robots with efficient autonomous movement. The transporter network may exploit spatial symmetries and may not need assumptions of objectness to provide accurate instructions on object manipulation. The machine-learned model of the transporter network may also allow for learning various tasks with less training examples than other machine-learned models. The machine-learned model of the transporter network may intake observation data as input and may output actions in response to the processed observation data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2025Publication date: January 1, 2026Inventor: Andy Zeng
