Many human manipulation skills are force relevant, such as opening a bottle cap and assembling furniture. However, it is still difficult task to endow robot with these skills, which largely due the complexity of representation planning skills. This paper presents learning‐based approach transferring force‐relevant from demonstration robot. First, skill encapsulated statistical model where key parameters learned demonstrated data (motion, force). Second, based on model, planner devised...
Existing research that addressed cable manipulation relied on two-fingered grippers, which make it difficult to perform similar tasks humans perform. However, unlike dexterous of rigid objects, the development skills in robotics remains underexplored due unique challenges posed by a cable's deformability and inherent uncertainty. In addition, using hand introduces specific difficulties tasks, such as grasping, pulling, in-hand bending, for no dedicated task definitions, benchmarks, or...
<title>Abstract</title> The human hand is often viewed as the pinnacle of dexterity. Yet, its asymmetric shape and unique thumb largely limit Artificial robotic hands have departed from anthropomorphic design. With two or three fingers distributed in a uniform manner, traditional industrial aimed at preserving symmetry, facilitating manipulation. They remain, however, extremely far dexterity, capable solely picking placing tasks, one object time. We present reversible that tackles this...
Mapping operator motions to a robot is key problem in teleoperation. Due differences between local and remote workspaces, such as object locations, it particularly challenging derive smooth motion mappings that fulfill different goals (e.g., picking objects with poses on the two sides or passing through points). Indeed, most state-of-the-art methods rely mode switches, leading discontinuous, low-transparency experience. In this letter, we propose unified formulation for position, orientation...

Robots are expected to execute various operation tasks like a human by learning working skills, especially for complex contact tasks. Increasing demands human–robot interaction during task execution makes robot motion planning and control considerable challenge, not only reproduce demonstration force in the space but also resume after interacting with without re-planning motion. In this article, we propose novel framework based on time-invariant dynamical system (DS), taking into account...

It is applied with goal handling different object/tool/landmark user and robot workspaces while remote are moving online. The proposed can generate trajectories manner adapt objects, where...

Dexterous manipulation of objects once held in hand remains a challenge. Such skills are, however, necessary for robotics to move beyond gripper-based and use all the dexterity offered by anthropomorphic robotic hands. One major challenge when manipulating an object within is that fingers must around while avoiding collision with other or object. collision-free paths be computed real-time, as smallest deviation from original plan can easily lead collisions. We present real-time approach...
Grasping is a fundamental skill for robots to interact with their environment. While grasp execution requires coordinated movement of the hand and arm achieve collision-free secure grip, many synthesis studies address motion planning independently, leading potentially unreachable grasps in practical settings. The challenge determining integrated arm-hand configurations arises from its computational complexity high-dimensional nature. We this by presenting novel differentiable robot neural...

Entropy engineering is usually identified as an effective approach for phase stabilization of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). However, this high entropy philosophy in γ/γ′ HEAs seems incompatible with their intermetallic nature. Taking γ/γ' (FeCoNi)86Ti7Al7 object, we theoretically viewed the individual/synergetic contributions and enthalpy to stability HEAs. Our results show that accelerates γ but it shows limited positive effects even negative on γ' intermetallics, especially vibrational...
