Recent advances in Vision Language Models (VLMs) have enhanced their application in robotics, encompassing both high-level task planning and low-level action control. Despite their strong performance across various robotic tasks, even for zero-shot scenarios, most VLM applications remain open-loop,
Collaborative robots have promising potential for widespread use in small-and-medium-sized enterprise (SME) manufacturing and production due to the development of increasingly sophisticated Human-Robot Collaboration technologies. However, predicting and identifying the behavior of collaborative robo
This paper presents a novel robot arm that is capable of switching between a rigid robot arm and a continuum robot arm. Therefore, the novel robot arm can perform adaptive physical interaction and manipulation against complex working environments and tasks. The switch-ability of the robot arm is ach…
To achieve real-time dynamic simulation analysis and optimization design, a dynamic digital twin of a nonholonomic mobile manipulator (one UR5e mounted on an industrial mobile robot MIR 200) has been developed in this paper. First, the digital twin integrated with dynamics of a mobile manipulator is…
Collaborative robots are gradually taking over the leading position in automating the production and manufacturing of the SMEs, where the human-robot collaboration is highly emphasized. Therefore, estimating the force and simulating the performance of robots are of great importance. As a newly intro…
Increasing research attention has been attracted to automatic plug-in charging in an unmanned and dangerous environment. In this work, we develop an object detection solution based on deep learning on 3D point clouds using a mobile robot manipulator to provide mobility and manipulation. In this solu…
