The Manipulation Lab

The goal of the Manipulation Lab is autonomous robotic manipulation in the presence of uncertainty. In order to accomplish this, we are addressing these key issues:

• What are the fundamental mechanics of manipulation?
• How should we model physical processes?
• How can a robot construct a plan to achieve specified goals?
• How can minimal sensor information be used to achieve tasks?
