This paper aims to provide a comprehensive survey of recent advancements in modelling
and autonomous manipulation of non-rigid objects. It first summarizes the recent advances …

We address the problem of goal-directed cloth manipulation, a challenging task due to the
deformability of cloth. Our insight is that optical flow, a technique normally used for motion …

Manipulating cloth-like deformable objects (CDOs) is a long-standing problem in the
robotics community. CDOs are flexible (non-rigid) objects that do not show a detectable level …

Robot-assisted dressing is performed in close physical interaction with users who may have
a wide range of physical characteristics and abilities. Design of user adaptive and …

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 …

Developing physically assistive robots capable of dressing assistance has the potential to
significantly improve the lives of the elderly and disabled population. However, most robotics …

In recent years, many countries, including Japan, have rapidly aging populations, making
the preservation of seniors' quality of life a significant concern. For elderly people with …

The reported research into the influence of a database on the processes of universal design
formation has established a mechanism for the interactive application of clusters of size …

In this paper, we propose a strategy for robot-assisted dressing with multi-component
garments, such as gloves. Most studies in robot-assisted dressing usually experiment with …

Dressing is a critical component of Activity of Daily Living (ADLs). The development of
assistive technology for dressing tasks is urgently needed from the viewpoint of privacy, for …
