Why is this robot slowly dropping the object?https://youtu.be/DqMjxcfm4Ek

This is a popular-science presentation, where I explore my PhD research on in-hand sliding manipulation with robotic grippers and tactile sensing. The focus has been on friction modeling and perception with tactile sensing. The simple parallel gripper might not be the first thought when you think about dexterity with robotic grippers. The video is based on my research papers: "Planar friction modeling with LuGre dynamics and limit surfaces" Published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO). https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.01123v3 "Perception, control, and hardware for in-hand slip-aware object man…

I nearly got phished earlier this year. 24+ years in software engineering, I know exactly how phishing and spam work and what to look out for, and it still almost worked on me. That's what made me question the entire email landscape rather than just my own attention. It seems every attempt to fix it so far requires either a complex process, joining a closed system, or accepting that mail can never be trustworthy. Or maybe we just need something new and open alongside SMTP that meets our modern-day needs but can bridge and interoperate with SMTP as well. I'm not saying I have all the answers,…

The resulting engine consists of a shared core that provides the optimizer, query infrastructure etc., and separate languages that can be added as plugins. The way this is implemented is that the languages are translated into a common algebra.…
