Grasping is the process of picking up an object by applying forces and torques at a set of
contacts. Recent advances in deep learning methods have allowed rapid progress in robotic …

Jigs and fixtures are key production equipment in manufacturing by fulfilling the tasks of
positioning, supporting, and fixing the components to be joined. They are also a significant …

Pushing is a motion primitive useful to handle objects that are too large, too heavy, or too
cluttered to be grasped. It is at the core of much of robotic manipulation, in particular when …

We present in-hand manipulation skills on a dexterous, compliant, anthropomorphic hand.
Even though these skills were derived in a simplistic manner, they exhibit surprising …

Compliant and soft hands have gained a lot of attention in the past decade because of their
ability to adapt to the shape of the objects, increasing their effectiveness for grasping …

This paper presents a framework for planning the motion of an η-fingered robot hand to
create an inertial load on a grasped object to achieve a desired in-grasp sliding motion. The …

This study is focused on developing a new dexterous soft robotic gripper with three fingers
and an active palm capable of performing in-hand manipulation purposes. This innovative …

As robots make their way out of factories into human environments, outer space, and
beyond, they require the skill to manipulate their environment in multifarious, unforeseeable …

This paper investigates real-time control strategies for dynamical systems that involve
frictional contact interactions. Hybridness and underactuation are key characteristics of …

To achieve recycling of mixed industrial waste toward an advanced sustainable society,
waste sorting automation through robots is crucial and urgent. For this purpose, a robot is …
