Design of a flexible tactile sensor for classification of rigid and deformable objects

A Drimus, G Kootstra, A Bilberg, D Kragic - Robotics and Autonomous …, 2014 - Elsevier
For both humans and robots, tactile sensing is important for interaction with the environment:
it is the core sensing used for exploration and manipulation of objects. In this paper, we …

Assessing grasp stability based on learning and haptic data

Y Bekiroglu, J Laaksonen, JA Jorgensen… - IEEE Transactions …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
An important ability of a robot that interacts with the environment and manipulates objects is
to deal with the uncertainty in sensory data. Sensory information is necessary to, for …

One-shot learning and generation of dexterous grasps for novel objects

M Kopicki, R Detry, M Adjigble… - … Journal of Robotics …, 2016 - journals.sagepub.com
This paper presents a method for one-shot learning of dexterous grasps and grasp
generation for novel objects. A model of each grasp type is learned from a single kinesthetic …

Object–action complexes: Grounded abstractions of sensory–motor processes

N Krüger, C Geib, J Piater, R Petrick… - Robotics and …, 2011 - Elsevier
This paper formalises Object–Action Complexes (OACs) as a basis for symbolic

Stable grasping under pose uncertainty using tactile feedback

H Dang, PK Allen - Autonomous Robots, 2014 - Springer
This paper deals with the problem of stable grasping under pose uncertainty. Our method
utilizes tactile sensing data to estimate grasp stability and make necessary hand …

Learning a dictionary of prototypical grasp-predicting parts from grasping experience

R Detry, CH Ek, M Madry… - 2013 IEEE International …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a real-world robotic agent that is capable of transferring grasping strategies
across objects that share similar parts. The agent transfers grasps across objects by …

Grasping with application to an autonomous checkout robot

E Klingbeil, D Rao, B Carpenter… - … on robotics and …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we present a novel grasp selection algorithm to enable a robot with a two-
fingered end-effector to autonomously grasp unknown objects. Our approach requires as …

A grasping approach based on superquadric models

G Vezzani, U Pattacini, L Natale - 2017 IEEE International …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
