The ability to perform in-hand manipulation still remains an unsolved problem; having this
capability would allow robots to perform sophisticated tasks requiring repositioning and …

Robotic in-hand manipulation has been a longstanding challenge due to the complexity of
modelling hand and object in contact and of coordinating finger motion for complex …

The automatic parts feeding of multiple objects is an unsolved problem in the manufacturing
industry. In this paper, we tackle the problem by proposing a multi-robot system. The system …

Reorienting objects by using supports is a practical yet challenging manipulation task.
Owing to the intricate geometry of objects and the constrained feasible motions of the robot …

In human-made scenarios, robots need to be able to fully operate objects in their
surroundings, ie, objects are required to be functionally grasped rather than only picked …

We present the design of an active two-phase finger for mechanically mediated dexterous
manipulation. The finger enables re-orientation of a grasped object by using a pneumatic …

Object manipulation without relying on complex fixtures remains a largely unresolved issue
in industrial robotics, being generally limited to pick-and-place operations of easy to grasp …

This work addresses the problem of changing grasp configurations on objects with an
unknown shape through in-hand manipulation. Our approach leverages shape priors …

Finding objects in dense clutter and placing them in specific poses play an important role in
robot manipulation in fields like warehousing and logistics, and have a significant influence …
