Excited about finally being able to present this project in public at #IROS2023. Muhammad Zahid Zahid Muhammad from my group at KTH Robotics, Perception and Learning Lab has done an unbelievable job designing this cloud robotics system. We are now looking for first remote research users on this system.

Thanks to Sweden's prime minister for stopping by our lab KTH Robotics, Perception and Learning Lab. Zahid Muhammad from our research group was representing our work on large scale cloud robotics for data-driven robotic manipulation. For more info see: wasp-sweden.org/nest-project-c… and cloudgripper.org This work

Can robots reason based on energy functions about the robustness of soft & fragile object manipulation? Tomorrow at #ICRA2024 Japan. Yifei Dong will discuss our work on "Quasi-static Soft Fixture Analysis of Rigid and Deformable Objects" extending caging-based methods to 3D
