..., in the grasping task, if the grasp success probability is above the threshold, it is assumed that the manipulator is equipped with a motion planner and controller to reach the planned end-effector pose. Through experimental evaluation, we demonstrate that the proposed framework can better predict...

...Xiaojun Wu; Peng Li; Jinghui Zhou; Yunhui Liu Purpose Scattered parts are laid randomly during the manufacturing process and have difficulty to recognize and manipulate. This study aims to complete the grasp of the scattered parts by a manipulator with a camera and learning method. Design...

...Bartłomiej Kulecki; Kamil Młodzikowski; Rafał Staszak; Dominik Belter Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose and evaluate the method for grasping a defined set of objects in an unstructured environment. To this end, the authors propose the method of integrating convolutional neural...

... as structure’s deformation and stress, are verified. Findings Compared with the FEM data, the experimental data indicate that the new soft actuator has no obvious outer phenomenon, the maximum stress decreases and the stiffness increases. The new actuator is applied for designing a flexible gripper to grasp...

...Andrés Montaño; Raúl Suárez Purpose This paper aims to present a procedure to change the orientation of a grasped object using dexterous manipulation. The manipulation is controlled by teleoperation in a very simple way, with the commands introduced by an operator using a keyboard. Design...
