ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

The statistical mechanics of spanning forests

open access: yes, 2017
This work collects the results of my PhD research activity. The main part is the study of the spanning forest model in a mean field approximation by the use of a recently introduced fermionic representation. These results have been published in the following papers in collaboration with S. Caracciolo and A. Sportiello. • A. Bedini, S.
