- Fragile part comanipulation
Large and fragile object manipulation tasks are extensively performed by operators in industrial contexts, for instance in aerospace industry as well as in construction field. Our work in the project has been driven by VDL use-case, dealing with the manufacture of composite parts. The manufacturing process of such parts requires the transport of large andRead More… - Multimodal teaching by demonstration
Historically, robotic arms have been applied mainly to large scale processes and production lines, with many smaller scale activities remaining largely based on manual work. The resulting robotic cells are generally fully autonomous, process is totally deterministic and locked, and no interaction is possible between operator and the robotic system during the execution. As aRead More… - Data based solution for Complex Materials robotic manipulation
The challenge of manipulating complex materials involves the identification of measurable quantities that offer insights into the system, which can then be utilized to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions. This essentially involves combining a perception system with a decision-making process. Markov decision processes (MDP) are well-suited to address the task of defining optimalRead More… - Optimizing modelling and simulation parameters for accurate digital representation of flexible materials
In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, digitalization has emerged as a driving force behind the transformation of factories worldwide. Industries are increasingly harnessing the power of simulations and digital twins to revolutionize their manufacturing processes. One area of particular interest is the adoption of simulations and digital twins to drive digitalization efforts in industries dealingRead More… - Advancing Deformable Material Modelling: Empowering Robotics and Simulation
The realm of robotics and simulation has witnessed a rapid evolution in recent years, marked by breakthroughs in areas like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced material modelling. Still, handling and manipulating deformable materials, particularly fabrics, continue to present significant challenges. These materials exhibit complex behaviors due to their flexible nature and the diverse physicalRead More…
