An Exploration of Nonprehensile Two-Palm Manipulation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes our current research into nonprehensile palm manipulation. The term “palm” refers to the use of the entire device surface during manipulation, as opposed to use of the fingertips alone. The term “nonprehensile” means that the palms hold the object without wrapping themselves around it, as distinguished from a force/form closure grasp often employed by a fingered hand. Indeed, nonprehensile operations such as purposeful sliding and constrained dropping constitute important palm primitives. We have implemented a system for orienting parts using two palms. The system consists of a planner and an executive. As input, the system expects a geometric description of a part, its center of mass, the coefficients of friction between the part and each of the palms, and a start and goal configuration of the part in stable contact with one of the palms. As output, the system computes and executes a sequence of palm motions designed to reorient the part from the specified start to the specified goal configuration.

متن کاملNonprehensile palmar manipulation with a mobile robot
Manipulation is a key capability for mobile robots to perform a greater variety of useful tasks. In this paper, we consider mobile robots equipped with low degree-of-freedom “palm manipulators.” The advantage of using this sort of nonprehensile (i.e. nongrasping) manipulator is its simplicity and versatility. Although in general multiple robots may be needed, the initial work described in this ...
متن کاملA carrying task for nonprehensile mobile manipulators
Manipulation is an essential capability for mobile robots to perform many useful tasks. Our focus has been on mobile robots with nonprehensile (i.e., nongrasping) manipulators. Here, the robots are equipped with a flat “palm” with two degrees of freedom. We have tackled the problem of carrying an object using two such mobile manipulators. Since these manipulators cannot grasp an object, each ro...
متن کاملNonprehensile two palm manipulation with non-equilibrium transitions between stable states
Manipulation without prehension is a natural way of handling objects for both humans and machines. Nonprehensile operations are appropriate when complete constraint over the object to be manipulated is either undesirableor impractical, but some control over the object is desired over its entire trajectory, in order to bring the object reliably to a desired final state. Research to date has expl...
متن کاملRearrangement with Nonprehensile Manipulation Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Rearranging objects on a tabletop surface by means of nonprehensile manipulation is a task which requires skillful interaction with the physical world. Usually, this is achieved by precisely modeling physical properties of the objects, robot, and the environment for explicit planning. In contrast, as explicitly modeling the physical environment is not always feasible and involves various uncert...
