Calibration and Analysis of Tactile Sensors as Slip Detectors

September 13, 2018
Author(s)
Karl Van Wyk, Joseph A. Falco
The existence of tactile afferents sensitive to slip-related mechanical transients in the human hand augments the robustness of grasping through secondary force modulation protocols. Despite this knowledge and the fact that tactile-based slip detection has

Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Competition: Task Pool

July 15, 2018
Author(s)
Yu Sun, Joseph Falco, Nadia Cheng, Hyouk Ryeol Choi, Erik Engeberg, Nancy Pollard, Maximo Roa, Zeyang Xia
A Robot Grasping and Manipulation Competition was held during IROS 2016. The competition provided a common set of robot tasks for researchers focused on the application of robot systems to compare the performance of hand designs as well as autonomous

State-of-the-Art in Human-Robot Interaction

June 7, 2018
Author(s)
Jeremy Marvel, Megan Zimmerman, Shelly Bagchi
In this chapter, we will discuss the applications of HRI and HMI in industrial robotics, and will discuss topics such as collaborative robot safety, advances in HMI designs and development paradigms, and the current state of HRI. Throughout the following

Calibration of mobile manipulators using 2D positional features

April 24, 2018
Author(s)
Mili Shah, Roger V. Bostelman, Steven Legowik, Tsai H. Hong
Robotic manipulators are increasingly being attached to Automatic Ground Vehicles (AGVs) to aid in the effi-ciency of assembly for manufacturing systems. However, calibrating these mobile manipulators is difficult as the offset between the robotic manipulator

Enabling Robot Agility in Manufacturing Kitting Applications

March 14, 2018
Author(s)
Zeid Kootbally, Craig I. Schlenoff, Brian Antonishek, Frederick M. Proctor, Thomas Kramer, William Harrison, Satyandra K. Gupta
For the most part, robots perform best in highly structured environments, where objects are in well-known, predictable loca-tions. Another way to describe this is that robots are not considered agile. But, in order for them to be useful to small manu

Multi-Robot Assembly Strategies and Metrics

January 26, 2018
Author(s)
Jeremy A. Marvel, Roger V. Bostelman, Joseph A. Falco
We present a survey of multi-robot assembly applications and methods, and describe trends and general insights into the multi-robot assembly problem for industrial applications. We focus on fixtureless assembly strategies featuring two or more robotic
