The ability to design a tool for a task marks a level of intelligence beyond merely understanding, selecting, or using one. Existing methods for robotic tool design typically optimize a tool's continuous shape and action within a structure that is prescribed or generated beforehand, so the structure itself stays outsid...

Category-level in-hand manipulation of articulated objects is a formidable yet underexplored challenge for dexterous robotic hands. This difficulty stems from two core bottlenecks: first, controlling an object's internal degrees of freedom is tightly coupled with maintaining grasp stability on a free-floating base; sec...
