— This paper provides that an elastic force and an elastic potential energy due to the deformation of soft fingers, which are previously derived, can be calculated into straight...
— In this paper, we propose a novel method for dexterous manipulation planning problem of rotating object with surface of revolution using a robotic multi-fingered hand. This me...
Abstract— This paper presents a randomized manipulation planner for a multi-fingered hand by switching contact modes. Manipulation planning for such a system should consider cha...
It is a common human behavior to hold a small object of interest and to manipulate it for observation. A computer system, symbiotic with a human, should recognize the object and th...
We consider typical manipulation tasks in terms of a service robot framework. Given a task at hand, such as ”Pick up the cup from the dinner table”, we present a number of diff...
