A novel robotic end-effector is introduced for pick-and-release of several fabric parts used for
producing underwear. One of the main operations in a factory for sewing cloth products is to …

We present a robot vision approach to deformable object classification, with direct
application to autonomous service robots. Our approach is based on the assumption that …

Accurate manipulation of a deformable body such as a piece of fabric is difficult because of
its many degrees of freedom and unobservable properties affecting its dynamics. To …

This letter introduces Mag-Gripper, a novel robotic gripper specifically designed for
autonomous clothing manipulation. It is capable of improving grasp repeatability, and …

This paper introduces two type-agnostic and fabric-agnostic methods for robotic unfolding of
garments. In the first method, a new path extraction procedure for unfolding the upper layer …

The ability to perform an accurate robotic fold is essential to obtain the properly folded
garment. Available solutions rely on a rough folding surface or on a comprehensive …

We address the accurate single arm robotic garment folding. The folding capability is
influenced mostly by the folding path which is performed by the robotic arm. This paper …

Robotic cloth folding remains challenging for robots due to its highly deformable nature. In
order to deal with these deformations, several strategies with varying amounts of adaptability …

A novel RGB-based continuous perception garment classification approach is proposed in
this letter, with the aim of identifying the correct category of the garment from a set of …

Deformable object manipulation has been considered a challenging task for robots for its
complex dynamics and the infinite dimensional configuration space. Fabric unfolding …
