Description: IROS 2019 Workshop on

Example domain paragraphs

We are seeing a growing need of dexterity in robotic manipulation beyond grasping. Such dexterity is usually motivated by a creative use of contacts, where these contacts can come from robot hands, arms, or any objects and fixtures in the environment. An intelligent robot can manipulate an object or its own body by exploiting the geometric and force constraints offered through contacts. Such skillful use of contact interactions could be crucial for realizing dexterous, reactive and robust robotic manipulati

While highly desired, such contact-rich manipulation comes with its own challenges – from noisy sensors to computationally demanding planning and control frameworks. While the recent research has proposed efficient algorithms and solutions for dexterous and robust manipulation, the industrial applications are seldom seen. This workshop aims to address and hopefully bridge this gap by inviting leading researchers from academia to discuss the recent advances in the field and industry experts to share their ex

The workshop has several open talk sessions. The application is open to both academia and industry. Everyone can apply for a talk to share their work on related fields. The talk should be around 5 min plus Q&A.
