Robotic manipulation of deformable objects addresses the complexities of interacting with items that change shape under force, such as cables, textiles, biological tissues and foodstuffs. Unlike rigid ...

(Phys.org) -- When Cornell engineers developed a new type of robot hand that could pick up oddly shaped objects it presented a challenge: It was easy for a human operator to choose the best place to ...

This article is part of our coverage of the latest in AI research. For humans, working with deformable objects is not significantly more difficult than handling rigid objects. We learn naturally to ...

When you think of robotics, you likely think of something rigid, heavy, and built for a specific purpose. New 'Robotic Skins' technology flips that notion on its head, allowing users to animate the ...

Scientists in Italy have developed a remarkable robotic arm inspired by the octopus, one of the ocean’s most skilled and ...

We introduce layer operations for single-view 3D deformable object manipulation, in which the user can control the depth order of layered 3D objects resting on a flat ground with simple clicks and ...
