Tactile sensing is an essential element of autonomous dexterous robot hand manipulation. It
provides information about forces of interaction and surface properties at points of contact …

Autonomous robots facing a diversity of open environments and performing a variety of tasks
and interactions need explicit deliberation in order to fulfill their missions. Deliberation is …

Passivity is an input–output property of dynamical systems. The concept generalizes
physical systems that cannot store more energy than the energy supplied from outside the …

In recent years, a large number of manipulator robots have been deployed to replace or
assist humans in many repetitive and dangerous tasks. Yet, these robots have complex …

Recent advancement in vision‐based robotics and deep‐learning techniques has enabled
the use of intelligent systems in a wider range of applications requiring object manipulation …

This paper reports the development of an intelligent shared control system for a robotic
manipulator that is commanded by the user's mind. The target objects are detected by a …

This paper introduces a new method for motion-trajectory generation of mechanical systems
with multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs). The key feature of this new concept is that motion …

Highly constrained manipulation tasks continue to be challenging for autonomous robots as
they require high levels of precision, typically less than 1mm, which is often incompatible …

This paper proposes a new way to achieve robotic tasks by two-dimensional (2-D) visual
servoing. Indeed, instead of using classical geometric features such as points, straight lines …

We address the challenging problem of robotic grasping and manipulation in the presence
of uncertainty. This uncertainty is due to noisy sensing, inaccurate models, and hard-to …
