We present a hierarchical planning system and its application to robotic manipulation. The novel features of the system are: 1) it finds high-quality kinematic solutions to task-l...
We present a general framework for the modelling of a class of mechanical systems for robotic manipulation, consisting of articulated limbs with redundant tendinous actuation and ...

This paper describes a robotic manipulation primitive called toppling--knocking a part over. We derive the mechanical conditions for toppling, express these as constraints on robo...
Abstract— Robotic manipulation is important for real, physical world applications. General Purpose manipulation with a robot (eg. delivering dishes, opening doors with a key, etc...
