Manipulation

Manipulation

Active manipulation or tool use

A robot's ability to handle objects with precision and skill. This feature is often tied to the number of degrees of freedom (DoF) and the quality of the actuators. It enables robots to perform complex tasks.

Examples

Mobile manipulators fuse a mobile platform with a dexterous robotic arm, allowing them to perform a wide range of tasks from material transport to precision assembly.
