Summary

The objective of this workshop is to give an overview of issues and current techniques in robotic manipulation and grasping. We focus here on manipulation devices composed of robotic arms and/or multifingered gripper to perform assembly tasks, to handle tools, to manipulate versatile objects (biological or not) and to interact with humans. There are several possible applications; such as automotive industry, cobotics, medical (surgery and assistance), watch industry...
The presenters of the workshop will present innovative techniques to ensure an efficient and robust robotic manipulation and grasping task covering several complementary needed aspects such as mechanism design, mechatronics, modelling, parameters estimation and control. The aim is to exchange expertise on mechatronic tools, modeling, identification and control used in robotic manipulation tasks and to initiate collaborations between researchers of robotics manipulation community. The workshop is a half-day workshop.
