Simultaneous Trajectory Optimization and Contact Selection for Multi-Modal Manipulation Planning
Mengchao Zhang, Devesh K. Jha, Arvind U. Raghunathan +1
Complex dexterous manipulations require switching between prehensile and non-prehensile grasps, and sliding and pivoting the object against the environment. This paper presents a m…
Covariance Steering for Uncertain Contact-rich Systems
Yuki Shirai, Devesh K. Jha, Arvind U. Raghunathan
Planning and control for uncertain contact systems is challenging as it is not clear how to propagate uncertainty for planning. Contact-rich tasks can be modeled efficiently using…
Robust Pivoting Manipulation using Contact Implicit Bilevel Optimization
Yuki Shirai, Devesh K. Jha, Arvind U. Raghunathan
Generalizable manipulation requires that robots be able to interact with novel objects and environment. This requirement makes manipulation extremely challenging as a robot has to…
