Won Kyung Do PhD Defense: "Improving Robotic Dexterity with Optical Tactile Sensor DenseTact"

Dexterous manipulation - especially when objects are small, cluttered, or partially occluded - remains a complex challenge in robotics. In this talk, I present three approaches to tackling this problem using DenseTact, a family of soft, vision‑based tactile sensors.

The seminar is open to everyone.
