Deformable object manipulation in robotics is an increasingly critical research area, addressing the challenge of handling materials that do not maintain a fixed shape under manipulation. Unlike rigid ...

Despite rapid robotic automation advancements, most systems struggle to adapt their pre-trained movements to dynamic ...

Fig. 1(a) illustrates a typical robotic manipulation system. It features a robotic arm equipped with sensors like cameras and end-effectors such as grippers, enabling it to manipulate a wide range of ...

The ability to manipulate objects using physical tweezers is essential in fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology. However, conventional tweezers often require complex electrode arrays and ...

In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves ...

Our current understanding of manipulation is based on primate hands, resulting in a detailed but narrow perspective of ways to handle objects. Although most other animals lack hands, they are still ...

Along with various other companies in the brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, Elon Musk's Neuralink and Bill Gates-backed Synchron have been pioneering the development of brain chips. These ...

If you thought fire-bending was impossible, think again. The Jumbo Jugglers is a student group dedicated to providing an outlet for people of any background to learn the skills of object manipulation, ...

Where there's water, there are waves. But what if you could bend water waves to your will to move floating objects? Scientists have now developed a technique to merge waves in a water tank to produce ...
