This talk presents research results @ PRISMA Lab on robot manipulation and control.
The talk is organized in four parts. In the first part, control techniques for dynamic nonprehensile manipulation are presented. The second part of the talk focuses on how to merge learning and model-based strategies to provide autonomy to robot manipulation.
In the third part, several aerial robotics applications for inspection and maintenance are surveyed. The fourth part of the talk deals with recent advances on shared control including haptic guidance. Future perspectives and big challenges of this research area are finally discussed.
The event can be also be followed online on Webex.
