This work introduces the New Dexterity modular, dexterous, anthropomorphic, open-source, bimanual manipulation platform (OpenBMP) that is designed for research and rapid experimentation in robot grasping, dexterous manipulation, and bimanual manipulation. The platform combines adaptive and hybrid ac…
The advancement in robotic grasping and manipulation has elicited an increased research interest in the development of household robots capable of performing a plethora of complex tasks. These advancements require the shift of robotics research from a laboratory setting to dynamic and unstructured h…
Telemanipulation is widely used in robotics applications, ranging from maintenance of various industrial systems to search and rescue response in remote and/or hazardous environments. Human operators are often responsible for the control of such robotic systems. However, these remote interactions re…
The advent of collaborative industrial and house-hold robotics has blurred the demarcation between the human and robot workspace. The capability of robots to function efficiently alongside humans requires new research to be conducted in dynamic environments as opposed to the traditional well-structu…
To communicate, the ~ 1.5 million Americans living with deafblindess use tactile American Sign Language (t-ASL). To provide Deafßilind (DB) individuals with a means of using their primary communication language without the use of an interpreter, we developed an assistive technology that promotes the…
A popular solution for connecting different components in modern electronics, such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets, etc, is the use of flexible flat cables (FFC). Typically, it takes hours of repetition from a highly trained worker, or a high precision autonomous robot with specialised end effect…
Grasping and manipulation are complex and demanding tasks, especially when executed in dynamic and unstructured environments. Typically, such tasks are executed by rigid articulated end-effectors, with a plethora of actuators that need sophisticated sensing and complex control laws to execute them e…
