Automation systems with applied robotics have already been established in industrial
applications for many years. In the field of life sciences, a comparable high level of …

This paper focuses on peg-in-hole assembly based on a two-phase scheme and
force/torque sensor (F/T sensor) for a compliant dual-arm robot, the Baxter robot. The …

The ability of robotic systems to effectively address disaster scenarios that are potentially
dangerous for human operators is continuing to grow as a research and development field …

We study the role of intrinsic motivation as an exploration bias for reinforcement learning in
sparse-reward synergistic tasks, which are tasks where multiple agents must work together …

With the rapid development of robotics, dual-arm robots have been more and more widely
used. Compared with the traditional single manipulator, it is very challenging for a dual-arm …

This article considers the problem of optimizing the task sequences carried out by a dual-
arm manipulator robot in a footwear production setting. The robot has to identify the pieces …

Manipulating objects with two multi-fingered hands has been a long-standing challenge in
robotics, attributed to the contact-rich nature of many manipulation tasks and the complexity …

We present an embodied AI system which receives open-ended natural language
instructions from a human, and controls two arms to collaboratively accomplish potentially …

Articulated and flexible objects constitute a challenge for robot manipulation tasks but are
present in different real-world settings, including home and industrial environments. Current …

Future robots operating in fast-changing anthropomorphic environments need to be reactive,
safe, flexible, and intuitively use both arms (comparable to humans) to handle task-space …
