Target singulation involves a rearrangement of surrounding obstacles to create space for grasping the target. However, when objects are tightly packed in a confined workspace (i.e., a limited table boundary), it is not easy to relocate obstacles. Using non-prehensile manipulation, such as push, is s
When multiple tablewares are closely packed on a table, rearranging obstacles to make space is necessary to grasp the target, often called target singulation. Due to the nature of handling fragile tablewares (i.e. plates, bowls), we make a few assumptions for the target singulation problem. First, t…
Determining a feasible path for nonholonomic mobile manipulators operating in congested environments is challenging. Sampling-based methods, especially bi-directional tree search-based approaches, are amongst the most promising candidates for quickly finding feasible paths. However, sampling uniform…
