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. In this letter, w
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
The presented work deals with classification of garment categories including pants, shorts, shirts, T-shirts and towels. The knowledge of the garment category is crucial for its robotic manipulation. Our work focuses particularly on garments being held in a hanging state by a robotic arm. The input…
