— Algorithms for dextrous robot grasping always have to cope with the challenge of achieving high object specialisation for a wide range of grasping contexts. In this paper, we p...
— When the tasks of a mission are interrelated and subject to several resource constraints, more efforts are needed to coordinate robots towards achieving the mission than indepe...
