We study the problem of learning to perform multistage robotic manipulation tasks, with
applications to cable routing, where the robot must route a cable through a series of clips …

Manipulating cables is challenging for robots because of the infinite degrees of freedom of
the cables and frequent occlusion by the gripper and the environment. These challenges are …

Robots have a great potential to help people with movement limitations in activities of daily
living, such as dressing. A common problem in almost all dressing tasks is the insertion of a …

This letter focuses on the shape control manipulation of deformable linear objects (DLO)
with a dual-arm robotic system. One significant challenge of DLO shape control is the …

Most research on deformable linear object (DLO) manipulation assumes rigid grasping.
However, beyond rigid grasping and re-grasping, in-hand following is also an essential skill …

The robotic manipulation of deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as cables, is a valuable
yet complex skill. In particular, to realize tasks like cable routing and wire harness assembly …

Shape control strategies seek to bring deformable objects towards a desired target shape.
However, conventional methods focus on reaching the target shape without considering the …

Studying the manipulation of deformable linear objects has significant practical applications
in industry, including car manufacturing, textile production, and electronics automation …

Wire-harnessing tasks pose great challenges to be automated by the robot due to the
complex dynamics and unpredictable behavior of the deformable wire. Traditional methods …

This work demonstrates the utility of dual-arm robots with dual-wrist force-torque sensors in
manipulating a Deformable Linear Object (DLO) within an unknown environment that …
