The property of form-closure of a grasp, as generally defined in the literature, is based on the assumption that contact points between the hand and the object are fixed in space. ...
In this paper, we propose a prior for hand pose estimation that integrates the direct relation between a manipulating hand and a 3d object. This is of particular interest for a va...
Abstract--A prominent emerging theory of sensorimotor development in biological systems proposes that control knowledge is encoded in the dynamics of physical interaction with the ...
: The immobilization of non-rigid objects is currently an active research area in robotics. This paper explores the problem by studying the immobilization of serial chains of rigid...
Abstract— This paper describes a virtual reality based Programming by Demonstration system for grasp recognition in manipulation tasks and robot pregrasp planning. The system cla...
