Nonprehensile dynamic manipulation can be reasonably considered as the most complex
manipulation task. It might be argued that such a task is still rather far from being fully solved …

Robotic manipulation of a bulky object is challenging due to the limited kinematics and
payload of the manipulator. In this study, a robot realizes the manipulation of general …

Stretching a pizza dough with a rolling pin is a nonprehensile manipulation. Since the object
is deformable, force closure cannot be established, and the manipulation is carried out in a …

A rigid plate end-effector at the tip of a high-speed manipulator can remotely manipulate an
object without grasping it. This paper discusses a dynamic nonprehensile manipulation …

Pivoting gait, in which a robot iteratively tilts an object, rotates it around a vertex, and then
places it down on the floor, is efficient for manipulating a large and heavy object with a …

Equilibrium points exploration is crucial for successful nonprehensile manipulation of multi-
link objects by cooperative arms which is promising for a class of future robotics …

The sliding primitive is a ubiquitous nonprehensile manipulation task, generally performed
by mechanical systems represented by underactuated nonlinear models. A literature review …

Any given object can be manipulated in a 3D space using human (or using industrial
anthropomorphic) arm (s). Depending on the material property and geometry of the object …

In this study we successfully demonstrated a dexterous manipulation of sheet-like elastic
objects—namely playing cards—using a high-speed multifingered robot hand system. Our …

This paper discusses a dynamic nonprehensile manipulation of a thin deformable object
and its rotational behavior similarity to bipedal gaits toward an effective rotation. A rigid plate …
