Grasping and manipulation, the ability to directly and physically interact with and modify objects in the environment, is perhaps the greatest differentiator between robotic systems and all other classes of automated systems. Many types of robots make use of advanced sensing solutions – to tactile, vision, proprioceptive, and more – to identify, pick-up and operate on all manner of objects, with goals ranging from providing human-like dexterity and autonomous manipulation, to high precision repeatability, and on to superhuman strength and endurance.
During this panel session, attendees will learn of the latest sensing technologies and techniques commercially available to support object recognition, grasping, manipulation and control, as well as solutions emerging from the lab that will allow for whole new classes of robotics applications.
