Most-cited papers in Current Robotics Reports

A Survey on Learning-Based Robotic Grasping

Kilian Kleeberger, Richard Bormann, Werner Kraus et al. · 20 Sep 2020

Abstract Purpose of Review This review provides a comprehensive overview of machine learning approaches for vision-based robotic grasping and manipulation. Current trends and developments as well as various criteria for categorization of approaches are provided. Recent Findings Model-free approaches are attractive due to their generalization capabilities to novel objects, but are mostly limited to top-down…

What Makes a Robot Social? A Review of Social Robots from Science Fiction to a Home or Hospital Near You

Anna Henschel, Guy Laban, Emily S. Cross · 4 Feb 2021

Purpose of Review: We provide an outlook on the definitions, laboratory research, and applications of social robots, with an aim to understand what makes a robot social-in the eyes of science and the general public. Recent Findings: Social robots demonstrate their potential when deployed within contexts appropriate to their form and functions. Some examples include…

Selective Harvesting Robotics: Current Research, Trends, and Future Directions

Gert Kootstra, Xin Wang, Pieter M. Blok et al. · 29 Jan 2021

Abstract Purpose of Review The world-wide demand for agricultural products is rapidly growing. However, despite the growing population, labor shortage becomes a limiting factor for agricultural production. Further automation of agriculture is an important solution to tackle these challenges. Recent Findings Selective harvesting of high-value crops, such as apples, tomatoes, and broccoli, is currently mainly…

Actuation Technologies for Soft Robot Grippers and Manipulators: A Review

Shadab Zaidi, Martina Maselli, Cecilia Laschi et al. · 20 May 2021

Abstract Purpose of Review The new paradigm of soft robotics has been widely developed in the international robotics community. These robots being soft can be used in applications where delicate yet effective interaction is necessary. Soft grippers and manipulators are important, and their actuation is a fundamental area of study. The main purpose of this…

Current Robotics Reports template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Current Robotics Reports format?
