Abstract Tactile sensing technology is crucial for soft grippers. Soft grippers equipped with intelligent tactile systems based on various sensors can interact safely the unstructured environments and obtain precise properties of objects (e.g., size shape). It essential to develop state‐of‐the‐art technologies handle different grasping tasks. In this review, development techniques robotic hands first introduced. Then, principles structures types normally adopted in grippers, including...

Accurate object 6D pose estimation is a core task for robot bin-picking applications, especially when objects are randomly stacked with heavy occlusion. To address this problem, paper proposes simple but novel Point-wise Pose Regression Network (PPR-Net). For each point in the cloud, network regresses of instance that belongs to. We argue regressed poses points from same should be located closely space. Thus, these can clustered into different instances and their corresponding objects'...

Summary This paper proposes to design an unknown input observer (UIO) for the linear‐parameter‐varying (LPV) system on basis of set theory, which is named as set‐theoretic UIO (SUIO). The advantage SUIO consists in that it combines active and passive approaches obtain robustness state estimation (SE) fault detection (FD). approach based use decouple inputs, while theory bound uncertain factors cannot be actively decoupled. As a result, effect both inputs (process disturbances, modeling...
