Network transceiver insertion
RJ45 and QSFP connector insertion policies using admittance control and force feedback for port search and alignment. These insertion tasks are challenging due to tight tolerances, requiring the policies to perform fine force control to…
Chopstick-Inspired Non-Prehensile Manipulation for Datacenter Automation
Automating repair and maintenance tasks in datacenters requires robots to operate in dense cable environmentswhere overlapping cables occlude target components and must be displaced without damage. Traditional prehensile approaches are impractical in such settings due…
