We are attempting to create a new foundation for robot manipulation that encourages contact between the robot's arm and the world. A key aspect of our approach is that we assume the robot has compliant joints and whole-arm tactile sensing. These videos are from our research in this area.
You can learn more by visiting our lab website and by reading our 2013 paper published in IJRR.
