Selective object rearrangement in clutter

B Tang, GS Sukhatme - Conference on Robot Learning, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
We propose an image-based, learned method for selective tabletop object rearrangement in
clutter using a parallel jaw gripper. Our method consists of three stages: graph-based object …

Where to relocate?: Object rearrangement inside cluttered and confined environments for robotic manipulation

SH Cheong, BY Cho, J Lee, CH Kim… - 2020 IEEE International …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present an algorithm determining where to relocate objects inside a cluttered and
confined space while rearranging objects to retrieve a target object. Although methods that …

Multi-robot geometric task-and-motion planning for collaborative manipulation tasks

H Zhang, SH Chan, J Zhong, J Li, P Kolapo… - Autonomous …, 2023 - Springer
We address multi-robot geometric task-and-motion planning (MR-GTAMP) problems in
synchronous, monotone setups. The goal of the MR-GTAMP problem is to move objects with …

Optimal Arrangement and Rearrangement of Objects on Shelves to Minimize Robot Retrieval Cost

LY Chen, H Huang, K Goldberg - IEEE Transactions on …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
From residential homes to commercial outlets and industrial warehouses, shelves are widely

Coordination of two robotic manipulators for object retrieval in clutter

J Ahn, CH Kim, C Nam - 2022 International Conference on …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the problem of retrieving a target object from a confined space by two robotic
manipulators where overhand grasps are not allowed. If other movable obstacles occlude …

Tree search-based task and motion planning with prehensile and non-prehensile manipulation for obstacle rearrangement in clutter

J Lee, C Nam, J Park, C Kim - 2021 IEEE International …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We propose a tree search-based planning algorithm for a robot manipulator to rearrange
objects and grasp a target in a dense space. We consider environments where tasks cannot …

Fast and resilient manipulation planning for object retrieval in cluttered and confined environments
