Learning Grasp Strategies with Partial Shape Information
We consider the problem of grasping novel objects in cluttered environments. If a full 3-d model of the scene were available, one could use the model to estimate the stability and...

Deformations of general parametric shells: Computation and robot experiment
— A shell is a body enclosed between two closely spaced and curved surfaces. Classical theory of shells [38], [33], [16] assumes a parametrization along the lines of principal cu...

Quasi-Static Manipulation with Hemispherical Soft Fingertip via Two Rotational Fingers
Abstract— We derive a local minimum of an elastic potential energy due to the deformation of a hemispherical soft fingertip, and propose a quasi-static manipulation algorithm us...

Manipulation Planning for Knotting/Unknotting and Tightly Tying of Deformable Linear Objects
— A planning method for knotting/unknotting and tightening manipulation of deformable linear objects is proposed. It is important for linear object manipulation in industrial/med...

Soft Finger Model with Adaptive Contact Geometry for Grasping and Manipulation Tasks
This paper presents a method for building analytical contact models for soft fingers. Friction constraints are derived based on general expressions for non-planar contacts of ela...
