Sorbonne Université has developed a new approach to deformable manipulation based on physically realistic continuum models. The goal of this approach is to generate a suitable robotic trajectory to realize a deformable object manipulation task in an industrial environment. Two main success metrics are defined: the realization of the task (ie. sole demolding, doll demolding, tire alignment, …), and the state of…

The latest paper has been published! Nowadays, there are a lot of repetitive and tedious tasks carriedout by people who can be replaced by an intelligent robotic system, allowing the operators to perform other kind of dexterous works. In this paper, the tackled task is the automatic assembling of a toy doll in a real environment.In this work, authors present different intelligent systems…
