Learning from demonstration effectively transfers human manipulation skills to robots. It can be especially useful for imitating industrial manipulation tasks which are performed by humans and are difficult to model such as deformable object manipulation. Manipulation of deformable objects often req…
In mini-invasive surgery, the laparoscopic ultra-sound probe is visible in the laparoscopic image. We address the problem of estimating the probe pose with respect to the laparoscope without using markers and additional sensors. We propose the first method using a single standard laparoscopic monocu

Most deformable object manipulation tasks still rely on skillful human operators. To automate such tasks, a robotic system should not only be able to deform an object to a desired shape but also servo its deformation along a specific path towards the desired shape. We propose a shape servoing contro…
