ICRA 2014 Workshop
Come and see CloPeMa at ICRA 2014!
A CloPeMa team will run an ICRA Workshop on Advances in Robot Manipulation of Clothes and Flexible Objects on 1st June 2014 in Hong Kong. The problem of manipulating and handling deformable and flexible objects is a great challenge in the development of robots capable of performing actions usually carried out by humans. It holds a great variety of technical challenges in new and advanced modelling, sensing, actuation planning and control technologies.
This ICRA workshop is aimed at the aspects related to the manipulation of flexible objects in the areas of: vision, planning, grasping, manipulation and interaction control, haptics, human-robot interaction, cognitive robotics, AI and others. It will, for instance, address technological aspects such as gripper design for advanced manipulation of flexible objects and visual and touch based coordinated robot control for execution of complex tasks. Furthermore it will give detailed insights into the cognitive, sensing and modelling issues in manipulation of flexible objects and is a chance to hear about and discuss the latest advancements.
The ICRA workshop is a great opportunity to meet and talk to the experts, such as, Sotiris Malassiotis, Vaclav Hlavak, Giorgio Cannata, Andreas Doumanoglou and other CloPeMa members. Register here.
Also the paper Autonomous Active Recognition and Unfolding of Clothes using Random Decision Forests and Probabilistic Planning will be presented in the main conference. Authors: Andreas Doumanoglou, Andreas Kargakos, Tae-Kyun Kim, Sotiris Malassiotis

CloPeMa Glasgow presented the CloPeMa project at the SICSA Demofest’13.
We had the great opportunity to present our research to a variety of industry partners on the 5th of November 2013, at the SICSA Demofest. SICSA stands for Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance, who created the Demofest as an event to introduce industry to ongoing academic research. It is a chance to find industry partners who are interested in investing and collaborating in cutting edge research around the country.
Sliding the gripper under the garment
Demonstration of the gripper functionality. The gripper is provided by flexible element which allows finger flexible moving. When the fingers touch desk of the table, the finger flexible moves back. The finger push down on the desk by force correspond to 20N / 10mm. Flexible finger allow us follow the desk of the table and grasping garment lying on the table.
Grasping a Garment with both Grippers
A garment is grasped by both Grippers of CloPeMa testbed robot. Then the garment is lifted by both robot arms and dropped back onto the table.
