Deformable Object Manipulation
In this project we research on how to manipulate more efficiently deformable objects by using dynamic manipulation as well as the modeling deformable objects via graph structures. Our applications range from manipulation of granular materials such as ground coffee to cloth manipulation.
Master Thesis on “Adversarial Robotic Cloth Manipulation”
This thesis will focus on how to use adversarial learning for improving existing methods in robotic cloth manipulation.
Welcome to Shoaib Azam
We welcome Shoaib as a new Postdoc in the group.
Welcome to Maria Sliacka
We welcome Maria as a new PhD Candidate in the group.
Our work “Learning Visual Feedback Control for Dynamic Cloth Folding” was accepted to IROS 2022!
We are happy to announce that our work “Learning Visual Feedback Control for Dynamic Cloth Folding” was accepted to IROS 2022 and nomitated to both the IROS Best Student Paper award and the IROS Best RoboCup Paper Award.
Manipulation of Granular Materials by Learning Particle Interactions
In this work we propose to use a Graph Neural Network (GNN) surrogate model to learn the particle interactions of granular materials. We perform planning of manipulation trajectories with the learnt surrogate model to arrange the material into a desired configuration.
