Manipulating tangled hoses, cables, or ropes can be challenging for both robots and humans. Humans often approach these perceptually demanding tasks by pushing or pulling tangled cables and observing the resulting motions. We follow a similar idea to aid robotic cable manipulation.

Manipulating cluttered cables, hoses or ropes is challenging for both robots and humans. Humans often simplify these perceptually challenging tasks by pulling or pushing tangled cables and observing the resulting motions. We propose to use a similar interactive perception principle to aid robotic ca
This letter introduces a dataset for training and evaluating methods for 6D pose estimation of hand-held tools in task demonstrations captured by a standard RGB camera. Despite the significant progress of 6D pose estimation methods, their performance is usually limited for heavily occluded objects,
Specifying robot tasks for low-volume manufacturing scenarios is an open problem.

The most recent architectures for Visual Question Answering (VQA), such as TbD or DDRprog, have already outperformed human-level accuracy on benchmark datasets (e.g. CLEVR). We administered an advanced analysis of their performance based on novel metrics called consistency (sum of all object feature…
Multi-modal robot programming with natural language and demonstration is a promising technique for efficient teaching of manipulation tasks in industrial environments. In particular, with modern dual-arm robots designed to quickly take over tasks at typical industrial workbenches, the direct teachin
