A Tactile-Based Wire Manipulation System for Manufacturing Applications

This paper presents experimental results developed within the WIRES experiment, whose main objective is the robotized cabling of switchgears. This task is currently executed by human operators; the WIRES Project tackles the development of a suitably designed sensorized end effector for the wire prec...
