Integrating a Manual Pipette into a Collaborative Robot Manipulator for Flexible Liquid Dispensing
Junbo Zhang, Weiwei Wan, Nobuyuki Tanaka +2
This paper presents a system integration approach for a 6-DoF (Degree of Freedom) collaborative robot to operate a pipette for liquid dispensing. Its technical development is three…
Accelerating Robot Learning of Contact-Rich Manipulations: A Curriculum Learning Study
Cristian C. Beltran-Hernandez, Damien Petit, Ixchel G. Ramirez-Alpizar +1
The Reinforcement Learning (RL) paradigm has been an essential tool for automating robotic tasks. Despite the advances in RL, it is still not widely adopted in the industry due to…
A Dual-Arm Robot that Manipulates Heavy Plates Cooperatively with a Vacuum Lifter
Shogo Hayakawa, Weiwei Wan, Keisuke Koyama +1
A vacuum lifter is widely used to hold and pick up large, heavy, and flat objects. Conventionally, when using a vacuum lifter, a human worker watches the state of a running vacuum…
Metal Wire Manipulation Planning for 3D Curving -- How a Low Payload Robot Can Use a Bending Machine to Bend Stiff Metal Wire
Ruishuang Liu, Weiwei Wan, Emiko Isomura +1
This paper presents a combined task and motion planner for a robot arm to carry out 3D metal wire curving tasks by collaborating with a bending machine. We assume a collaborative r…
Category-Association Based Similarity Matching for Novel Object Pick-and-Place Task
Hao Chen, Takuya Kiyokawa, Weiwei Wan +1
Robotic pick-and-place has been researched for a long time to cope with uncertainty of novel objects and changeable environments. Past works mainly focus on learning-based methods…
