报告摘要:

Autonomous manipulation remains one of the most challenging tasks for robots, especially in cluttered environments with uncertainty. In this talk, I’ll introduce our related research work in autonomous manipulation using a continuum manipulator. Continuum manipulators are inspired by the invertebrate structures found in nature, such as an elephant trunk or octopus arm. As a continuum manipulator is deformable and passively compliant, it is more apt to work in a cluttered environment. My talk will be focused on autonomous grasping and inspection in real time in cluttered space, with extension to sensing-based autonomous manipulation in unknown environments.
