Tactile sensing is a key sensor modality for robots interacting with their surroundings. These
sensors provide a rich and diverse set of data signals that contain detailed information …

Touch sensing can help robots understand their surrounding environment, and in particular
the objects they interact with. To this end, roboticists have, in the last few decades …

Humans are capable of manipulating objects based solely on the sense of touch. For robots
to achieve the same feat in unstructured environments, global localization of objects via …

In robots, nonprehensile manipulation operations such as pushing are a useful way of
moving large, heavy, or unwieldy objects, moving multiple objects at once, or reducing …

In the context of current societal challenges, such as climate neutrality, industry digitization,
and circular economy, this paper addresses the importance of improving recycling practices …

Door traversal is generally a trivial task for human beings but particularly challenging for
humanoid robots. This paper describes a holistic approach for a full-sized humanoid robot to …

In human–robot interaction, the robot controller must reactively adapt to sudden changes in
the environment (due to unpredictable human behaviour). This often requires operating …

This paper develops a method to fuse stereo vision, force-torque sensor, and joint angle
encoder measurements to estimate and track the location of a grasped object within the …

In the context of robot grasping and manipulation, realistic dynamic simulation requires
accurate modeling of contacts between bodies and, in a practical level, accurate simulation …

This paper presents the progress that has been made recently in the TRITON project. The
TRITON project is an on going research project being carried out in Spain which has as …
