Robust Grasping Manipulation of Deformable Objects

A simple but robust control law for the grasping manipulation of deformable objects is presented. In the handling of deformable objects, grasping and manipulation must be performed simultaneously despite uncertainties during the handling process. We will propose a control law to perform grasping and manipulation of deformable objects using a realtime vision system.

Knotting/Unknotting Manipulation of Deformable Linear Objects

Here, we propose a planning method for knotting/unknotting of deformable linear objects. First, we propose a topological description of the state of a linear object. Second, transitions between these states are defined by introducing four basic operations. Then, possible sequences of crossing state transitions, i.e. possible manipulation processes, can be generated once the initial and the obje...

Deformable Models

The term Deformable Model describes a group of computer algorithms and techniques widely used in computer vision today. They all share the common characteristic that they model the variability of a certain class of objects (In biometrics this could be the class of all faces, or of all hands, or all eyes, etc.). Today, different representations of the object classes are commonly used. Earlier al...
