Robotic manipulation showcase

A short showcase of our research and development in robotic manipulation.



Manipulation of a rotating chain

We propose a strategy to manipulate a rotating chain, in particular, to make it transit between different rotation modes. For more details, see our paper "Robotic manipulation of a rotating chain".



Assembly of an IKEA chair

We integrated robot vision, motion/grasp planning and force control to achieve highly dexterous tasks. For more details, see our paper "A framework for fine robotic assembly".

Kinodynamic motion planning

Here we demonstrate how taking advantage of dynamics enables finding valid motions in a scenario where quasi-static motions are guaranteed to fail. For more details, see our paper "Admissible Velocity Propagation : beyond quasi-static path planning for high-dimensional robots".



TOPP for redundantly-actuated robots

Here we use the TOPP library to plan fast motions for a humanoid robot in a multi-contact task, subject to torque and contact stability constraints. For more details, see our paper "Time-optimal path parameterization for redundantly-actuated robots".
