TacLoc: Global Tactile Localization on Objects from a Registration Perspective

Description

Pose estimation is essential for robotic manipulation, particularly when visual perception is occluded during gripper-object interactions. Existing tactile-based methods generally rely on tactile simulation or pre-trained models, which limits their generalizability and efficiency. In this study, we propose TacLoc, a novel tactile localization framework that formulates the problem as a one-shot point cloud registration task. TacLoc introduces a graph-theoretic partial-to-full registration method,
