Grasping a curved object free in the plane may be done through rolling a pair of fingers on the object’s boundary. Each finger is equipped with a tactile sensor able to record...
— For manipulation tasks, the transfer of objects between humans and robots is a fundamental way to coordinate activity and cooperatively perform useful work. Within this paper w...
Abstract— We present a novel vision-based grasp point detection algorithm that can reliably detect the corners of a piece of cloth, using only geometric cues that are robust to v...

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 ...
— We present an optimization-based approach to grasping and path planning for mobile manipulators. We focus on pick-and-place operations, where a given object must be moved from ...
