Ungrasp it, dexterously and robustly

There's more to our Dexterous Ungrasping -- robustness. Click the figure for a video.

Ungrasp it, dexterously

This enables human-level dexterity in the tasks of ungrasping, e.g., the placement of Go stones that AlphaGo is unable to perform. Click the figure for a video.

Motion-Controlled Scooping

The important manipulation capability of scooping objects is realized only with motion control. Click the figure for a video.

Dig-Grasping

Effective bin picking using an asymmetric gripper with different finger lengths. Click the figure for a video.

Dynamic Flex-and-Flip

Our dynamic flex-and-flip manipulation technique can be applied to handling deformable objects, for example, book page turning. Click the figure for a video.

Dexterous Peg-in-Shallow-Hole

We address how to insert a thin object (such as the phone battery) into a shallow-depth hole through dexterous manipulation. Click the figure for a video.
