Key to rich, dexterous manipulation in the real world is the ability to coordinate control
across two hands. However, while the promise afforded by bimanual robotic systems is …

This article develops a robotic manipulation planner for human-robot collaborative
assembly. Unlike previous methods that study an independent and fully artificial intelligent …

The use of hand tools presents a challenge for robot manipulation in part because it calls for
motions requiring continuous force application over a whole trajectory, usually involving …

This letter designs a mechanical tool for robots with two-finger parallel grippers, which
extends the functionality of the robotic gripper without additional requirements on tool …

This paper studies the dual-arm manipulation of an object by means of two collaborative
robots. The latter hold the object through limited contact areas, thus applying unilateral …

This work addresses the problem of planning a robot configuration and grasp to position a
shared object during forceful human-robot collaboration, such as a puncturing or a cutting …

In this letter, we present a planner for manipulating tethered tools using dual-armed robots.
The planner generates robot motion sequences to maneuver a tool and its cable while …

Rather than systematically programming joint or task trajectories, having a human physically
manipulate the robot for direct adjustments is more intuitive, saves time, and increases …

This paper presents a planning algorithm designed to improve cooperative robot behaviour
concerning human comfort during forceful human-robot physical interaction. Particularly, we …

The automatic parts feeding of multiple objects is an unsolved problem in the manufacturing
industry. In this paper, we tackle the problem by proposing a multi-robot system. The system …
