Deformable object manipulation in robotics is an increasingly critical research area, addressing the challenge of handling materials that do not maintain a fixed shape under manipulation. Unlike rigid ...

This article is part of our coverage of the latest in AI research. For humans, working with deformable objects is not significantly more difficult than handling rigid objects. We learn naturally to ...

Real-time simulation of deformable objects in surgical procedures is rapidly transforming the landscape of medical training and preoperative planning. These simulations offer an interactive platform ...

New technology that invites expressive, two-way communication between a person and the soft, flexible object they are holding or wearing has been developed at the University of Bath. Subscribe to our ...

The world's first robotic laser adaptive optics system, developed by a team led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa astronomer Christoph Baranec, will soon find a new home at the venerable 2.1-meter (83 ...
