Complex manipulation with a simple robotic hand through contact breaking and caging

WG Bircher, AS Morgan, AM Dollar - Science Robotics, 2021 - science.org
Humans use all surfaces of the hand for contact-rich manipulation. Robot hands, in contrast,
typically use only the fingertips, which can limit dexterity. In this work, we leveraged a …

Tactile-reactive roller grasper

S Yuan, S Wang, R Patel, M Tippur, C Yako… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Manipulation of objects within a robot's hand is one of the most important challenges in
achieving robot dexterity. The" Roller Graspers" refers to a family of non-anthropomorphic …

Designing underactuated graspers with dynamically variable geometry using potential energy map based analysis

CL Yako, S Yuan, JK Salisbury - 2022 IEEE/RSJ International …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper we present a potential energy map based approach that provides a framework

[HTML][HTML] Robust whole-hand spatial manipulation via energy maps with caging, rolling, and sliding

WG Bircher, AS Morgan, AM Dollar - Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Humans regularly use all inner surfaces of the hand during manipulation, whereas
traditional formulations for robots tend to use only the tips of their fingers, limiting overall …

汎用パーツフィーダのための**面内センサレス in-hand ケージングマニピュレーションの計画

中西佑太, 上久木田治毅, 込山隼, 前田雄介 - 日本ロボット学会誌, 2023 - jstage.jst.go.jp
抄録 In this work we developed a planner for planar sensorless in-hand caging manipulation
for part feeders. In-hand caging manipulation is a method in which an object is caged by a …

Position and Orientation Control of Polygonal Objects by Sensorless In-hand Caging Manipulation

S Komiyama, Y Maeda - 2021 IEEE International Conference …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this work, we propose an approach to manipulate objects by position-controlled robot
hands: in-hand caging manipulation. In this method, an object is manipulated based on …

Design and Control of Roller Grasper V3 for In-Hand Manipulation

S Yuan, L Shao, Y Feng, J Sun, T Xue… - IEEE Transactions …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Robot in-hand manipulation is an important skill for robots to carry out sophisticated tasks
that require moving the grasped object within hand. In this work, we present the Roller …

Whole-Hand Robotic Manipulation with Rolling, Sliding, and Caging

WG Bircher - 2022 - search.proquest.com
Traditional manipulation planning and modeling relies on strong assumptions about contact.
Specifically, it is common to assume that contacts are fixed and do not slide. This …
