We present a novel vision-based grasp point detection algorithm that can reliably detect the
corners of a piece of cloth, using only geometric cues that are robust to variation in texture …

We consider the problem of autonomous robotic laundry folding, and propose a solution to
the perception and manipulation challenges inherent to the task. At the core of our approach …

In this paper a series of studies dealing with flexible material manipulation in aspects of
manipulation, modelling and scheduling are discussed. The main purpose of this work is to …

We consider the problem of autonomously bringing an article of clothing into a desired
configuration using a general-purpose two-armed robot. We propose a hidden Markov …

We consider the problem of recognizing the configuration of clothing articles when crudely
spread out on a flat surface, prior to and during folding. At the core of our approach are …

With a progress of an aging society with fewer children, an introduction of robots for family
use is expected. Focusing on laundry cleanup by robots, we are studying clothing …

Robots could be a valuable tool for helping with dressing but determining how a robot and a
person with disabilities can collaborate to complete the task is challenging. We present task …

We consider how the tedious chore of folding clothes can be performed by a robot. At the
core of our approach is the definition of a cloth model that allows us to reason about the …

Application of Mobile Robots have increased many folds in recent years. A heuristic effort is
dedicated in making Mobile Robots adept to indoor environments to perform different type of …

Dressing is one of the most common activities in human society. Perfecting the skill of
dressing can take an average child three to four years of daily practice. The challenge is …
