Deformable object shape control involves the autonomous manipulation of deformable objects so that they acquire a desired target shape. This constitutes a vast challenge due to the wide variety of deformable object types and manipulation methods. The multidisciplinary nature of shape control spans f
Shape control strategies seek to bring deformable objects towards a desired target shape. However, conventional methods focus on reaching the target shape without considering the extent to which the object is deformed during the control process. Control actions may generate unnecessary deformations
Shape control involves bringing a deformable object to a desired shape. In the shape control literature, the positioning of the grippers on the object is usually predefined (user-defined) and therefore considered as input information. In this paper we address the gripper positioning problem for shap…
Shape control has become a prominent research field as it enables the automation of tasks in many applications. Overall, deforming an object to a desired target shape by using few grippers is a major challenge. The limited information about the object dynamics, the need to combine small and large de…
