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 ...

This article is part of our coverage of the latest in AI research. For humans, working with deformable objects is not significantly more difficult than handling rigid objects. We learn naturally to ...

We introduce layer operations for single-view 3D deformable object manipulation, in which the user can control the depth order of layered 3D objects resting on a flat ground with simple clicks and ...

New technology that invites expressive, two-way communication between a person and the soft, flexible object they are holding or wearing has been developed at the University of Bath. Subscribe to our ...
