    • openAccess   A framework for compliant physical interaction : the grasp meets the task 

      Prats Sánchez, Mario; Sanz, Pedro J; del Pobil, Angel P. Springer Verlag (2010)
      Although the grasp-task interplay in our daily life is unquestionable, very little research has addressed this problem in robotics. In order to fill the gap between the grasp and the task, we adopt the most successful ...
    • closedAccess   Exploring multimodal interfaces for Underwater Intervention Systems 

      García Sánchez, Juan Carlos; Prats Sánchez, Mario; Sanz, Pedro J IEEE (2010)
      Graphical User Interfaces play a very important role in the context of Underwater Intervention Systems. Classical solutions, specially concerning Remotely Operated Vehicles, frequently require users with an advanced ...

    • openAccess   Reliable non-prehensile door opening through the combination of vision, tactile and force feedback 

      Prats Sánchez, Mario; Sanz, Pedro J; del Pobil, Angel P. Springer (2010-08-01)
      Whereas vision and force feedback—either at the wrist or at the joint level—for robotic manipulation purposes has received considerable attention in the literature, the benefits that tactile sensors can provide when combined ...
    • openAccess   Robotic execution for everyday tasks by means of external vision/force control 

      Prats Sánchez, Mario; Martinet, Philippe; del Pobil, Angel P.; Lee, Sukhan Springer Verlag (2008)
      In this article, we present an integrated manipulation framework for a service robot, that allows to interact with articulated objects at home environments through the coupling of vision and force modalities. We consider ...
