In this paper, we present a planner for a master dual-arm robot to manipulate tethered tools with an assistant dual-arm robots help. The assistant robot provides assistance to the master robot by manipulating the tool cable and avoiding collisions. The provided assistance allows the master robot to perform tool placements on the robot workspace table to regrasp the tool, which would typically fail since the tool cable tension may change the tool positions. It also allows the master robot to perform tool handovers, which would normally cause entanglements or collisions with the cable and the environment without the assistance. Simulations and real-world experiments are performed to validate the proposed planner.

The development of robotic-assisted extracorporeal ultrasound systems has a long history and a number of projects have been proposed since the 1990s focusing on different technical aspects. These aim to resolve the deficiencies of on-site manual manipulation of hand-held ultrasound probes. This paper presents the recent ongoing developments of a series of bespoke robotic systems, including both single-arm and dual-a
This paper presents a planner that can automatically find an optimal assembly sequence for a dual-arm robot to assemble the soma blocks. The planner uses the mesh model of objects and the final state of the assembly to generate all possible assembly sequence and evaluate the optimal assembly sequence by considering the stability, graspability, assemblability, as well as the need for a second arm. Especially, the need for a second arm is considered when supports from worktables and other workpieces are not enough to produce a stable assembly. The planner will refer to an assisting grasp to additionally hold and support the unstable components so that the robot can further assemble new workpieces and finally reach a stable state. The output of the planner is the optimal assembly orders, candidate grasps, assembly directions, and the assisting grasps if any. The output of the planner can be used to guide a dual-arm robot to perform the assembly task. The planner is verified in both simulations and real-world executions.
Coordinated dual-arm manipulation tasks can be broadly characterized as possessing absolute and relative motion components. Relative motion tasks, in particular, are inherently redundant in the way they can be distributed between end-effectors. In this work, we analyse cooperative manipulation in terms of the asymmetric resolution of relative motion tasks. We discuss how existing approaches enable the asymmetric execution of a relative motion task, and show how an asymmetric relative motion space can be defined. We leverage this result to propose an extended relative Jacobian to model the cooperative system, which allows a user to set a concrete degree of asymmetry in the task execution. This is achieved without the need for prescribing an absolute motion target. Instead, the absolute motion remains available as a functional redundancy to the system. We illustrate the properties of our proposed Jacobian through numerical simulations of a novel differential Inverse Kinematics algorithm.
Robotic dual-arm twisting is a common but very challenging task in both industrial production and daily services, as it often requires dexterous collaboration, a large scale of end-effector rotating, and good adaptivity for object manipulation. Meanwhile, safety and efficiency are preliminary concerns for robotic dual-arm coordinated manipulation. Thus, the normally adopted fully automated task execution approaches based on environmental perception and motion planning techniques are still inadequate and problematic for the arduous twisting tasks. To this end, this paper presents a novel strategy of the dual-arm coordinated control for twisting manipulation based on the combination of optimized motion planning for one arm and real-time telecontrol with human intelligence for the other. The analysis and simulation results showed it can achieve collision and singularity free for dual arms with enhanced dexterity, safety, and efficiency.
Deploying robots from isolated operations to shared environments has been an increasing trend in robotics for the last decades. However, the requirement of robust interaction in highly variable environments is still beyond the capability of most robots. We proposed to achieve robustness of various interactions by using the Fractal Impedance Control (FIC) and exploiting its non-linear stiffness to adapt to multiple cooperative scenarios, which is applicable to both manipulation and teleoperation applications. The proposed method was evaluated by a wide range of experiments: drilling, moving objects with unknown dynamics, and interacting with humans. The extensive validations demonstrated that the proposed method is very robust in presence of delays and reduced bandwidth in the communication link between master and follower. The results confirmed that the proposed method can enhance the robustness significantly and allow switching tasks freely between manipulation, human-robot cooperation and teleoperation without the need of extensive re-tuning of the controllers.
