This paper provides an overview of the current state‐of‐the‐art in selective harvesting robots
(SHRs) and their potential for addressing the challenges of global food production. SHRs …

To facilitate automated bin picking when parts cannot be grasped, pushing actions have the
potential to separate objects and move them away from bin walls and corners. In the context …

Robots are expected to replace menial tasks such as housework. Some of these tasks
include nonprehensile manipulation performed without grasping objects. Nonprehensile …

We consider a novel problem where multiple rigid convex polygonal objects rest in randomly
placed positions and orientations on a planar surface visible from an overhead camera. The …

This letter addresses the problem of pushing manipulation with nonholonomic mobile
robots. Pushing is a fundamental skill that enables robots to move unwieldy objects that …

This article proposes a model predictive non-sliding manipulation (MPNSM) control
approach to safely transport an object on a tray-like end-effector of a robotic manipulator. For …

Humans, in comparison to robots, are remarkably adept at reaching for objects in cluttered
environments. The best existing robot planners are based on random sampling of …

We consider a decluttering problem where multiple rigid convex polygonal objects rest in
randomly placed positions and orientations on a planar surface and must be efficiently …

We present a controller for quasistatic robotic planar pushing with single-point contact using
only force feedback to sense the pushed object. We consider an omnidirectional mobile …

Recently, robots have seen rapidly increasing use in homes and warehouses to declutter by
collecting objects from a planar surface and placing them into a container. While current …
