Within the paradigm shift of electrification and autonomous driving, the automotive wiring
harness has evolved to a safety-critical system, as it is responsible for the energy and …

Real-time reactive manipulation of deformable linear objects is a challenging task that
requires robots to quickly and adaptively respond to changes in the object's deformed shape …

Deformable object manipulation (DOM) is an emerging research problem in robotics. The
ability to manipulate deformable objects endows robots with higher autonomy and promises …

Cables are complex, high-dimensional, and dynamic objects. Standard approaches to
manipulate them often rely on conservative strategies that involve long series of very slow …

Many assembled products contain parts that are not rigid, and there is a large variety of such
parts, which might be as different as cables, sheet metals, plastic covers, or foams. The …

We study the problem of learning to perform multistage robotic manipulation tasks, with
applications to cable routing, where the robot must route a cable through a series of clips …

In this letter, we propose a novel approach to automatically control the 3D shape of
deformable wires using robots. Our approach proposes a novel visual feature along with a …

Thin plastic bags are ubiquitous in retail stores, healthcare, food handling, recycling, homes,
and school lunchrooms. They are challenging both for perception (due to specularities and …

Cable routing is a challenging task for robotic automation. To accomplish the task, it requires
a high-level path planner to generate a sequence of cable configurations from the initial …

This letter addresses the problem of contact-based manipulation of deformable linear
objects (DLOs) towards desired shapes with a dual-arm robotic system. To alleviate the …
