    Leveraging Deformations in Soft Objects and Robots for Contact-Rich Dexterity

    GHC 6121

    Abstract: Robust dexterity depends on the ability to cause and reason about deformation. Robots may routinely need to interact with cables, dough, textiles, and hair in our homes, where deformation is the object state. Soft robots, in turn, are built from compliant materials in which deformation is not a by-product of interaction but its primary [...]
