This paper tackles the challenges of automating battery removal from small electronic devices, such as heat cost allocators and smoke detectors. The process is critical for mitigating fire hazards caused by lithium batteries in recycling facilities and for supporting a circular economy. We focus on …
An effective robotic wrist represents a key enabling element in robotic manipulation, especially in prosthetics. In this paper, we propose an under-actuated wrist system, which is also adaptable and allows to implement different under-actuation schemes. Our approach leverages upon the idea of soft s…
So far, autonomous order picking (commissioning) systems have not been able to meet the stringent demands regarding speed, safety, and accuracy of real-world warehouse automation, resulting in reliance on human workers. In this letter, we target the next step in autonomous robot commissioning: autom
