This paper discusses dynamic manipulation inspired by the handling mechanism of a pizza
chef. The chef handles a tool called ldquopizza peel, rdquo where a plate is attached at the …

This study presents a robot-hand-arm system with high robustness and responsiveness by
using a “Net-Structure Proximity Sensor.” The sensor, which we have developed and …

This paper presents detumbling and capture of space debris by a dual-arm space robot for
active space debris removal missions. Space debris, such as a malfunctioning satellite or a …

In this article we analyze the following problem: given a mechanical system subject to
(possibly redundant) bilateral and unilateral constraints with set-valued Coulomb's friction …

A rigid plate end-effector at the tip of a high-speed manipulator can remotely manipulate an
object without grasping it. This paper discusses a dynamic nonprehensile manipulation …

In this letter, we propose a one-finger nonprehensile manipulation strategy for repositioning
and reorienting a 3D object in a frictional environment. The proposed manipulation strategy …

This paper discusses a dexterous hyper plate inspired by pizza manipulation. We first
discuss the necessary combinations of active degrees of freedom of the plate for …

This paper discusses the non-grasp dynamic manipulation of a deformable object inspired
by the handling mechanism of pizza master. The master handles a tool where a plate is …

This paper describes a dynamic nonprehensile manipulation of a deformable object, where
the shape of a thin rheological object is dynamically controlled by the combination of the …

This paper discusses a dynamic nonprehensile manipulation of a thin flexible object where
the object rotates on a plate. We have found that a thin flexible object shows bipedal-gaited …
