Mechanical engineers have discovered a method of manipulating orbiting space debris with the use of spinning magnets, allowing agencies more dexterous movement in clearing out space junk or repairing ...
Abstract: Manipulating 3-D deformable objects presents significant challenges for robotic systems due to their infinite-dimensional state space and complex deformable dynamics. This article proposes a ...
Abstract: Humans naturally develop preferences for how manipulation tasks should be performed, which are often subtle, personal, and difficult to articulate. Although it is important for robots to ...
