  • Fabric smoothing and folding - Research demonstration - 2021-03-31 - In physical fabric manipulation experiments with an ABB YuMi robot, LazyDAgger reduces context switches by 60% while achieving a 60% higher success rate than SafeDAgger at execution time. - source: arxiv.org
  • Object manipulation - Research demonstration - 2020-03-28 - Robotic fabric manipulation is challenging due to the infinite dimensional configuration space, self-occlusion, and complex dynamics of fabrics. - source: arxiv.org
  • Deformable-object manipulation - Research demonstration - 2020-03-28 - Robotic fabric manipulation is challenging due to the infinite dimensional configuration space, self-occlusion, and complex dynamics of fabrics. - source: arxiv.org
  • Rope and cable manipulation - Research demonstration - 2020-03-03 - Robotic manipulation of deformable 1D objects such as ropes, cables, and hoses is challenging due to the lack of high-fidelity analytic models and large configuration spaces. - source: arxiv.org
  • Dexterous manipulation - Research demonstration - 2019-04-25 - The paper introduces Dexterous Manipulation Graphs for planning in-hand manipulation and regrasping with parallel grippers. - source: arxiv.org
  • Pick and place - Research demonstration - 2019-04-25 - It adds a concrete YuMi research example for dexterous bimanual manipulation rather than simple pick-and-place. - source: arxiv.org
  • Dual-arm regrasping - Research demonstration - 2019-04-25 - The paper introduces Dexterous Manipulation Graphs for planning in-hand manipulation and regrasping with parallel grippers. - source: arxiv.org
  • Vacuum suction grasping - Research demonstration - 2017-09-19 - Vacuum-based end effectors are widely used in industry and are often preferred over parallel-jaw and multifinger grippers due to their ability to lift objects with a single point of contact. Suction grasp planners often… - source: arxiv.org
  • Sign-language motion - Research demonstration - 2020-11-08 - Dynamic Movement Primitive based Motion Retargeting for Dual-Arm Sign Language Motions - source: arxiv.org
