PneuGelSight: Soft Robotic Vision-Based Proprioception and Tactile Sensing

Published in International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR), 2025

We introduce PneuGelSight, a pneumatic manipulator with integrated vision-based tactile sensing and proprioception. Our pipeline enables accurate optical and dynamic simulation, supporting zero-shot sim-to-real transfer for robust manipulation.
