We present a distributed, event-triggered, and adaptive control algorithm for cooperative object manipulation with rolling contacts unknown dynamic parameters. Whereas conventional methods require rigid contact points, our approach exploits effects of passive end-effectors does not force/torque sensing. The removal rigidity allows more modular grasping, increased application to types, online ad...

In the last years, a challenging field of autonomous robotics is represented by cooperative mobile manipulation carried out in different environments (aerial, terrestrial and underwater environment). As regards cooperative manipulation of Intervention-Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (I-AUVs), this application is characterized by a more complex environment of work, compared to the terrestrial or ...

In this paper, we propose a method of an object manipulation by multiple mobile robots using sticks as tools. In the conventional cooperative work by multiple mobile robots, manipulation technique based on force-control has been proposed. However, mobile robots are moving by position-control, and motion errors can easily arise. Then, we build the manipulation technique, which is suitable for mo...

Abstract Dual-arm robot manipulation is applicable to many domains, such as industrial, medical, and home service scenes. Learning from demonstrations a highly effective paradigm for robotic learning, where learns human actions directly can be used autonomously new tasks, avoiding the complicated analytical calculation motion programming. However, learned skills are not easy generalize cases sp...

Cooperative design in engineering raises several requirements, such as modeling the complicated design object, hypermedia support, coordination support, open architecture for integrating current applications and modeling the process of cooperative design. In this paper, we propose an information model for cooperative design system to meet these requirements. This model, called HyCD, has three l...

In this paper we present a new, affordable, omnidirectional robot platform which is suitable for research and education in cooperative robotics. We design implement the purpose of multi-agent object manipulation transportation. The consists three wheels with two additional traction wheels, making multirobot possible. It validated by performing simple experiments using setup one target object. e...

Computational social choice literature has successfully studied the complexity of manipulation in various voting systems. However, the existing models of coalitional manipulation view the manipulating coalition as an exogenous input, ignoring the question of the coalition formation process. While such analysis is useful as a first approximation, a richer framework is required to model voting ma...
