arXiv Robotics research summaries for February 10, 2024.

Today's Research Themes (AI-Generated):

• Novel soft robotic gripper ROSE introduces rotation-based squeezing for universal object handling and demonstrates high lift force with gentle pressure.

• Neural rearrangement planning for object retrieval in confined spaces is enhanced with in-hand RGB-D sensor and outperforms traditional methods in speed and efficiency.

• Adaptive kernels in Bayesian optimization show potential in robot control by balancing local exploitation and global exploration without prior knowledge.

• Efficient 3D haptic exploration with unscented Bayesian optimization and collision penalty improves robotic grasp safety and robustness.

• A robotic cyber-physical system concept proposes automated reality capture and visualization for construction progress monitoring, integrating a quadruped robot with BIM.
