A Hybrid Force-Position Strategy for Shape Control of Deformable Linear Objects With Graph Attention Networks
Manipulating deformable linear objects (DLOs) such as wires and cables is crucial in various applications like electronics assembly and medical surgeries. However, it faces challenges due to DLOs' infinite degrees of freedom, complex nonlinear dynamics, and the underactuated nature of the system. To address these issues, this paper proposes a hybrid force-position strategy for DLO shape control. The framework, combining both force and position representations of DLO, integrates state trajectory planning in the force space and Model Predictive Control (MPC) in the position space. We present a dynamics model with an explicit action encoder, a property extractor and a graph processor based on Graph Attention Networks. The model is used in the MPC to enhance prediction accuracy. Results from both simulations and real-world experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in achieving efficient and stable shape control of DLOs.

Object Manipulation of the Variable Topology Truss system
This paper presents an object manipulation strategy for the Variable Topology Truss (VTT) system, a truss robot that comprises actuated truss members connected by passive spherical joints. Although truss robots were orig…
PushingBots: Collaborative Pushing via Neural Accelerated Combinatorial Hybrid Optimization
Many robots are not equipped with a manipulator and many objects are not suitable for prehensile manipulation (such as large boxes and cylinders). In these cases, pushing is a simple yet effective non-prehensile skill fo…
ForceVLA2: Unleashing Hybrid Force-Position Control with Force Awareness for Contact-Rich Manipulation
Embodied intelligence for contact-rich manipulation has predominantly relied on position control, while explicit awareness and regulation of interaction forces remain under-explored, limiting stability, precision, and ro…
Enhancing Robustness in Robot-Environment Interactions through Passive Compliant Degrees of Freedom: A Hybrid Position-Force Control Approach with Feedback Linearization
Robot-environment interactions in dynamic or unstructured settings are often degraded by impact shocks, vibrations, and uncertainties in contact geometry and mechanical properties. This paper proposes an interaction arch…
A Hybrid Soft Haptic Display for Rendering Lump Stiffness in Remote Palpation
Remote palpation enables noninvasive tissue examination in telemedicine, yet current tactile displays often lack the fidelity to convey both large-scale forces and fine spatial details. This study introduces a hybrid fin…
