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…
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…
Robot grasping and manipulation allow robots to interact with their environments and execute a plethora of complex tasks that require increased dexterity (e.g., open a door, push buttons, collect and transpose objects, etc.). Collecting data of such activities is of paramount importance as it allows…
The ongoing global healthcare crisis has amplified the need for automation of manual tasks in several industries and service sectors. Simple household tasks such as tidying and cleaning are in high demand, with only a few robotic platforms capable of performing them due to the mobility, workspace, a…
The human hand is Nature's most versatile and dexterous end-effector and it has been a source of inspiration for roboticists for over 50 years. Recently, significant industrial and research effort has been put into the development of dexterous robot hands and grippers. Such end-effectors offer robus
