Flexible pick-and-place is a fundamental yet challenging task within robotics, in particular
due to the need of an object model for a simple target pose definition. In this work, the robot …

Rapid and reliable robot bin picking is a critical challenge in automating warehouses, often
measured in picks-per-hour (PPH). We explore increasing PPH using faster motions based …

During suturing tasks performed with minimally invasive surgical robots, configuration
singularities and joint limits often force surgeons to interrupt the task and re-grasp the …

A human handing over an object modulates their grasp and movements to accommodate
their partner's capa-bilities, which greatly increases the likelihood of a successful transfer …

Teleoperating robotic manipulators can be complicated and cognitively demanding for the
human operator. Despite these difficulties, teleoperated robotic systems are still popular in …

We present a framework for identifying, communicating, and addressing risk in shared-
autonomy mobile manipulator applications. This framework is centered on the capacity of …

This paper considers the problem of grasp pose optimisation for manipulating 3D pipe
assemblies during the manufacturing process. The method presented in this paper is …

We propose a haptic-guided shared control system that provides an operator with force cues
during reach-to-grasp phase of tele-manipulation. The force cues inform the operator of …

In term of the industrialization era, robot gradually appears in some production stages
instead of worker. There is an irreversible tendency to deploy the image processing …

In the context of the industrialization era, robots are gradually replacing workers in some
