Pivot, process for manufacturing such a pivot, oscillator comprising such a pivot, watch movement and timepiece comprising such an oscillator

Simon Nessim Henein, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette

The present invention concerns a pivot comprising two assemblies, namely a central assembly (401) and a peripheral assembly (400). These two assemblies are mobile in rotation relative to each other around an axis of rotation (A). The pivot is characterized ...

Neural Joint Space Implicit Signed Distance Functions for Reactive Robot Manipulator Control

Aude Billard, Mikhail Koptev, Nadia Barbara Figueroa Fernandez

In this paper, we present an approach for learning a neural implicit signed distance function expressed in joint space coordinates, that efficiently computes distance-to-collisions for arbitrary robotic manipulator configurations. Computing such distances ...

Beyond Soft Hands: Efficient Grasping With Non-Anthropomorphic Soft Grippers

Yufei Hao

Grasping and manipulation are challenging tasks that are nonetheless critical for many robotic systems and applications. A century ago, robots were conceived as humanoid automata. While conceptual at the time, this viewpoint remains influential today. Many ...

An inverse optimization approach to understand human acquisition of kinematic coordination in bimanual fine manipulation tasks

Aude Billard, Kunpeng Yao

Tasks that require the cooperation of both hands and arms are common in human everyday life. Coordination helps to synchronize in space and temporally motion of the upper limbs. In fine bimanual tasks, coordination enables also to achieve higher degrees of ...
