This article surveys the literature on human–robot object handovers. A handover is a
collaborative joint action, where an agent, the giver, gives an object to another agent, the …

While predicting robot grasps with parallel jaw grippers have been well studied and widely
applied in robot manipulation tasks, the study on natural human grasp generation with a …

Robotic grasping of house-hold objects has made remarkable progress in recent years. Yet,
human grasps are still difficult to synthesize realistically. There are several key reasons:(1) …

In this article, we present the RBO Hand 3, a highly capable and versatile anthropomorphic
soft hand based on pneumatic actuation. The RBO Hand 3 is designed to enable dexterous …

Grasping and manipulating objects is an important human skill. Since hand-object contact is
fundamental to grasping, capturing it can lead to important insights. However, observing …

Synthesizing 3D human avatars interacting realistically with a scene is an important problem
with applications in AR/VR, video games, and robotics. Towards this goal, we address the …

Humans perform object manipulation in order to execute a specific task. Seldom is such
action started with no goal in mind. In contrast, traditional robotic grasping (first stage for …

Humans are able to intuitively exploit the shape of an object and environmental constraints
to achieve stable grasps and perform dexterous manipulations. In doing that, a vast range of …

Anthropomorphic robotic hands are seeking to achieve key features such as multi-degree-of-
freedom motion ability, bi-directional actuation, high adaptability, and sufficient stiffness. In …

Recent advances in the field of collaborative robotics aim to endow industrial robots with
prediction and anticipation abilities. In many shared tasks, the robot's ability to accurately …
