Handling non-rigid objects using robot hands necessities a framework that does not only incorporate human-level dexterity and cognition but also the multi-sensory information and system dynamics for robust and fine interactions. In this research, our previously developed kernelized synergies framework, inspired from human behaviour on reusing same subspace for grasping and manipulation, is augmented with visuo-tactile perception for autonomous and flexible adaptation to unknown objects. To detect objects and estimate their poses, a simplified visual pipeline using RANSAC algorithm with Euclidean clustering and SVM classifier is exploited. To modulate interaction efforts while grasping and manipulating non-rigid objects, the tactile feedback using T40S shokac chip sensor, generating 3D force information, is incorporated. Moreover, different kernel functions are examined in the kernelized synergies framework, to evaluate its performance and potential against task reproducibility, execution, generalization and synergistic re-usability. Experiments performed with robot arm-hand system validates the capability and usability of upgraded framework on stably grasping and dexterously manipulating the non-rigid objects.

Enabling robots to work in close proximity with humans necessitates to employ not only multi-sensory information for coordinated and autonomous interactions but also a control framework that ensures adaptive and flexible collaborative behavior. Such
a control framework needs to integrate accuracy and repeatability of robots with cognitive ability and adaptability of humans for co-manipulation. In this regard, an intuitive stack of tasks (iSOT) formulation is proposed, that defines the robots actions based on human ergonomics and task progress. The framework is augmented with visuo-tactile perception for flexible interaction and autonomous adaption. The visual information using depth cameras, monitors and estimates the object pose and human arm gesture while the tactile feedback provides exploration skills for maintaining the desired contact to avoid slippage. Experiments conducted on robot system with human partnership for assembly and disassembly tasks confirm the effectiveness and usability of proposed framework.
Manipulation in contrast to grasping is a trajectorial task that needs to use dexterous hands. Improving the dexterity of robot hands, increases the controller complexity and thus requires to use the concept of postural synergies. Inspired from postu
ral synergies, this research proposes a new framework called kernelized synergies that focuses on the re-usability of the same subspace for precision grasping and dexterous manipulation. In this work, the computed subspace of postural synergies; parameterized by probabilistic movement primitives, is treated with kernel to preserve its grasping and manipulation characteristics and allows its reuse for new objects. The grasp stability of the proposed framework is assessed with a force closure quality index. For performance evaluation, the proposed framework is tested on two different simulated robot hand models using the Syngrasp toolbox and experimentally, four complex grasping and manipulation tasks are performed and reported. The results confirm the hand agnostic approach of the proposed framework and its generalization to distinct objects irrespective of their shape and size.
Humans in contrast to robots are excellent in performing fine manipulation tasks owing to their remarkable dexterity and sensorimotor organization. Enabling robots to acquire such capabilities, necessitates a framework that not only replicates the hu
man behaviour but also integrates the multi-sensory information for autonomous object interaction. To address such limitations, this research proposes to augment the previously developed kernelized synergies framework with visual perception to automatically adapt to the unknown objects. The kernelized synergies, inspired from humans, retain the same reduced subspace for object grasping and manipulation. To detect object in the scene, a simplified perception pipeline is used that leverages the RANSAC algorithm with Euclidean clustering and SVM for object segmentation and recognition respectively. Further, the comparative analysis of kernelized synergies with other state of art approaches is made to confirm their flexibility and effectiveness on the robotic manipulation tasks. The experiments conducted on the robot hand confirm the robustness of modified kernelized synergies framework against the uncertainties related to the perception of environment.
Using simulation to train robot manipulation policies holds the promise of an almost unlimited amount of training data, generated safely out of harms way. One of the key challenges of using simulation, to date, has been to bridge the reality gap, so
that policies trained in simulation can be deployed in the real world. We explore the reality gap in the context of learning a contextual policy for multi-fingered robotic grasping. We propose a Grasping Objects Approach for Tactile (GOAT) robotic hands, learning to overcome the reality gap problem. In our approach we use human hand motion demonstration to initialize and reduce the search space for learning. We contextualize our policy with the bounding cuboid dimensions of the object of interest, which allows the policy to work on a more flexible representation than directly using an image or point cloud. Leveraging fingertip touch sensors in the hand allows the policy to overcome the reduction in geometric information introduced by the coarse bounding box, as well as pose estimation uncertainty. We show our learned policy successfully runs on a real robot without any fine tuning, thus bridging the reality gap.
The robotic manipulation of composite rigid-deformable objects (i.e. those with mixed non-homogeneous stiffness properties) is a challenging problem with clear practical applications that, despite the recent progress in the field, it has not been suf
ficiently studied in the literature. To deal with this issue, in this paper we propose a new visual servoing method that has the capability to manipulate this broad class of objects (which varies from soft to rigid) with the same adaptive strategy. To quantify the objects infinite-dimensional configuration, our new approach computes a compact feedback vector of 2D contour moments features. A sliding mode control scheme is then designed to simultaneously ensure the finite-time convergence of both the feedback shape error and the model estimation error. The stability of the proposed framework (including the boundedness of all the signals) is rigorously proved with Lyapunov theory. Detailed simulations and experiments are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. To the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first time that contour moments along with finite-time control have been used to solve this difficult manipulation problem.
