Flexible object manipulation by dual manipulator system

We propose a flexible object manipulation system by a dual manipulator system. Flexible objects like rope or paper have shapes of irregular form, even if the manipulator goes to the same position. We use a flexible object model and vision sensor to recognize flexible object form, and we use a force sensor and vision sensor to confirm the task execution. The dual manipulator system tied a cylindrical object with rope in an experiment.
