Deformation-Aware Manipulation: Compliant and Geometric Approaches for Non-Anthropomorphic Hands

GHC 6121

Abstract:  Soft robot hands offer compelling advantages for manipulation tasks, including inherent safety through material compliance, robust adaptation to uncertain object geometries, and the ability to conform to complex shapes passively. However, these same properties create significant challenges for conventional sensing and control approaches. This talk presents approaches to bridging advances in geometric learning and [...]
