The contribution of mechatronics and robotics to assist or replace human in manipulation tasks includes: more
safety and less exposition to danger in an environment that is harsh, feasability of the tasks in unaccessible
places, more precision and rapidity for repetitive manipulation, assistance for handling weighty objects... These
last fifteen years, we witness an increase of research in terms of design and of control (modeling, estimation,
controllers synthesis) of mechatronic and robotic tools and systems for manipulation applications. New
challenges have been raising and are leading researchers and engineers to re-think and to propose new
techniques than the design and control classically uesed in traditional grippers for industrial robotics. Those
challenges are: robotic manipulation in collaboration with human, tasks in harsh - extreme or tiny environment,
manipulation of very small objects, more and more complex objects shape, bulky objects manipulation in
crowded environment, deformability of the objects, object manipulation with varying weight and mechanical
impedance, more and more dexterity to be reached, manipulation with more than two robotic arms,
manipulation with mobile robotics arms.
This tutorial is to have the opportunity to have lectures and talks from six (6) researchers specialized in
mechatronic or/and robotic manipulation but of different angles. The target of this tutorial is multiple: to be
aware of the most recent results on the topics, introducing to young and junior researchers some design or
control techniques used, allowing exchanges and discussions between senior engineers or researchers for
potential collaboration, and sharing experiences and different approaches.
The talks focuses:
- soft robotics based manipulation
- smart materials actuators based mechatronic systems for manipulation
- aerial manipulation
- deformable object manipulation
- guaranteed performances based manipulation
- human-robotic co-manipulation
Scientific and technical topics covered:
- design and development
- modeling and control
- parameters and signals estimation
