09/18 3rd UK Robot Manipulation Workshop: Leeds!

We are organizing the 3rd UK Robot Manipulation Workshop in Leeds, on 9-10 April 2019.

09/18 New papers: Humanoids-18 and WAFR-18

We have four new papers available this month!
We have one paper on pushing under uncertainty accepted to the next WAFR (México, 2018), and three new papers on planning for comfort HRI and planning under clutter and uncertainty accepted to IEEE-RAS Humanoids 2018!
You can meet the authors at WAFR (Merida, Mexico) and Humanoids-18 (Beijing, China), but in the meantime, you can find the papers in ArXiv: (arxiv.org/abs/1807.09049), (arxiv.org/abs/1807.11323, arxiv.org/abs/1805.03005, arxiv.org/abs/1803.08100). Please check the videos at the video session as well.
