Deformable object manipulation (DOM) is an emerging research problem in robotics. The
ability to manipulate deformable objects endows robots with higher autonomy and promises …

We present a survey of recent work on robot manipulation and sensing of deformable
objects, a field with relevant applications in diverse industries such as medicine (eg surgical …

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 deformable objects, such as fabric, is a long standing problem in robotics, with
state estimation and control posing a significant challenge for traditional methods. In this …

Compliant and soft hands have gained a lot of attention in the past decade because of their
ability to adapt to the shape of the objects, increasing their effectiveness for grasping …

This work presents a complete pipeline for folding a pile of clothes using a dual-armed robot.
This is a challenging task both from the viewpoint of machine vision and robotic …

Cloth manipulation is a challenging task that, despite its importance, has received relatively
little attention compared to rigid object manipulation. In this letter, we provide three …

In this article, we present a review on the recent advancement in flexible deformable object
modeling for dexterous manipulation in robotic system. Flexible deformable object is one of …

Cloth manipulation by robots is gaining popularity among researchers because of its
relevance, mainly (but not only) in domestic and assistive robotics. The required science and …

Robotic manipulation of deformable objects remains a challenging task. One such task is
folding a garment autonomously. Given start and end folding positions, what is an optimal …
