Objectives of the project

• The primary goal of the project is aimed at developing critical components of scalable technology for performing grasping, dynamic manipulation, transporting and assembly tasks by robotic end-effectors and hands enabling robotic solutions in targeted service and industrial applications. The secondary objectives are
  • To develop new approach and a bio-inspired and bio-compatible benchmark robotic platforms for controlling dynamic and non-prehensile manipulation of compliant objects;
  • To apply, to tune and to validate a new approach in performing industrial assembly operations of parts with different physical properties (defined by stiffness, plasticity,friction parameters);
  • To apply, to tune and to validate a new approach in manipulating, handling, and transporting compliant objects performed by robotic hands in service applications;
  • To develop libraries of motion primitives for off-shelf robotic hands/tooling devices for grasping, manipulation, assembly tasks


• The funding program: ITKPLUSS; The time span: 2017-2020; the RCN link
