Autonomous Block Assembly for Boom Cranes with Passive Joint Dynamics: Integrated Vision MPC Control

ICRA 2026poster

This paper presents an autonomous control framework for articulated boom cranes performing prefabricated block assembly in construction environments. The key challenge addressed is precise placement control under passive joint dynamics that cause pendulum-like sway, complicating the accurate positio…

Towards Autonomous Wood-Log Grasping with a Forestry Crane: Simulator and Benchmarking

ICRA 2025

Forestry machines operated in forest production environments face challenges when performing manipulation tasks, especially regarding the complicated dynamics of underactuated crane systems and the heavy weight of logs to be grasped. This study investigates the feasibility of using reinforcement lea
