Control of Nonprehensile Manipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonprehensile manipulation is the process of manipulating a part without a formor force-closure grasp. Without such a grasp, the part is free to roll, slide, or break contact with the robot(s) manipulating it. Controlling the motion of a part using nonprehensile manipulation becomes the challenging problem of controlling a dynamic system with equations of motion incorporating the robot and part geometry, friction and restitution laws, and changing dynamics due to changing contact states. Drawing from the work of others and our own previous work, in this paper we pose several open problems in the control of nonprehensile manipulation.

Nonprehensile Robotic Manipulation: Controllability and Planning
A good model of the mechanics of a task is a resource for a robot, just as actuators and sensors are resources. The e ective use of frictional, gravitational, and dynamic forces can substitute for extra actuators; the expectation derived from a good model can minimize sensing requirements. Despite this, most robot systems attempt to dominate or nullify task mechanics, rather than exploit them. ...

Motivated by the application of robots in holding and/or transferring a patient, this paper introduces the nonprehensile manipulation control algorithm for lifting up (or lowering down) a two-rigid link object with a passive joint applying two cooperative arms in a two-dimensional space. Fuzzy technique is applied for manipulation control, with high friction at contact, as it is very difficult ...
متن کاملDynamic Nonprehensile Manipulation: Controllability, Planning, and Experiments
We are interested in using low degree-of-freedom robots to perform complex tasks by not grasping (nonprehensile manipulation). By not grasping, the robot can use gravitational, centrifugal, and Coriolis forces as virtual motors to control more degrees-of-freedom of the part. The extra motion freedoms of the part are exhibited as rolling, slipping, and free ight. This paper describes controllabi...
متن کاملAn Exploration of Nonprehensile Two-Palm Manipulation: Planning and Execution
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/from closure grasp often employed by a fingered hand. Indee...
