Sketch-MoMa: Teleoperation for Mobile Manipulator via Interpretation of Hand-Drawn Sketches

1 reports1 reporting sourcesUpdated 3 days ago

Overview

Event synthesis

This research paper introduces Sketch-MoMa, a teleoperation system that interprets hand-drawn sketches superimposed on observation images to control mobile manipulators. By leveraging Vision-Language Models (VLMs), the system infers drawn shapes and low-level tasks, enabling precise motion planning for operations like grasping and rotation. The approach is validated with seven tasks and five sketch shapes, showing competitive usability compared to existing 2D interfaces in a user study involving fourteen participants.

“modalities to set the sketches' semantics. This requires complex operations for users and leads to decreasing usability. In this paper, we propose Sketch-MoMa, a teleoperation system using the user-given hand-drawn sketches as instructions to control a robot. We use Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to understand the user-given sketches superimposed on an observation image and infer drawn shapes and low-level tasks of t”

“he robot. We utilize the sketches and the generated shapes for recognition and motion planning of the generated low-level tasks for precise and intuitive operations. We validate our approach using state-of-the-art VLMs with 7 tasks and 5 sketch shapes. We also demonstrate that our approach effectively specifies the detailed motions, such as how to grasp and how much to rotate. Moreover, we show the competitive usabil”
