Months 1 to 12 (12 months) The Physical Interaction Framework Methodology Multisensory-based framework for the specification and robust control of physical interaction tasks, where the grasp and the task are jointly considered on the basis of the Task Frame Formalism (TFF) and the Knowledge-based approach to grasping Our previous work Moving to underwater The physical interaction frames

9 WP7 - Multisensory Based Manipulation Architecture T7.2 Specification of interfaces [UJI 11] [UNIBO 1] [UNIGE-ISME 1]. Months 7 to 18 (11 months) UJI: Manipulation planning & supervision. High-level sensor-based closed loop control of the end-effector UNIGE: Arm control & Floating manipulation Manipulation service Input: Task request Visual info Vehicle pose and velocity Internal: Closed loop control of the end-effector for the given task Output: Resultant force/torque to apply on the vehicle.

10 UNIBO UNIGE WP7 - Multisensory Based Manipulation Architecture T7.2 Specification of interfaces [UJI 11] [UNIBO 1] [UNIGE-ISME 1]. Months 7 to 18 (11 months) The Robot Operating System (ROS) was adopted for UNIBO-UNIGE-UJI communications Service /unige/switchcontrol Service /unige/switchpriorities Topic /unige/vtg (input) Topic /unige/joint_state (output) Topic /unige/arm_state (output) Topic /unige/vte (output) Switches between different control states: initialize, park, unpark, control, etc. Sets the priorities Transform-to-goal. Used when in control mode. Report joint values Reports the current control mode of the arm and other info that might be of interest Report FK with respect to the vehicle frame Service /unibo/initialize Service /unibo/setpreshape Action /unibo/grasp Topic /unibo/joint_state (output) Topic /unibo/force_feedback (output) Initialize hand (if needed). Sets a hand preshape: cylindrical, one-finger, etc. Applies the grasp on the object. Reports joint values Report the force feedback Regarding the interface with the high-level architecture, the messages defined in D3.1 have been implemented, thus connecting the manipulation sub-architecture with the Intelligent Control Architecture of WP3. Initial experiments of the above communication mechanisms have been already carried out in simulation.
