Mandolin - Multi-robot manipulation of deformable objects leveraging interactive simulation for planning and control

Two collarobative robots are grasping a piece of foam by both ends. They move in order to give a certain shape to the part.
Projet Description

Mandolin aims to improve the 3D manipulation of deformable objects using multiple collaborative robots, by optimizing grasping point location and leveraging interactive inverse finite element simulation in planning and control.

Scientific gaps
  • Fusion of simulation and advanced control techniques to enhance shaping precision
  • Combination of analytical, physics-based, and AI-based techniques to represent and plan deformation states
  • Full shape control of deformable objects in 3D including environmental contacts
