Summary
The objective of this workshop is to give an overview of issues and
                                                current techniques in robotic manipulation and grasping. We focus here
                                                on manipulation devices composed of robotic arms and/or multifingered
                                                gripper to perform assembly tasks, to handle tools, to manipulate
                                                versatile objects (biological or not) and to interact with humans. There
                                                are several possible applications; such as automotive industry,
                                                cobotics, medical (surgery and assistance), watch industry...
 The
                                                presenters of the workshop will present innovative techniques to ensure
                                                an efficient and robust robotic manipulation and grasping task covering
                                                several complementary needed aspects such as mechanism design,
                                                mechatronics, modelling, parameters estimation and control. The aim is
                                                to exchange expertise on mechatronic tools, modeling, identification and
                                                control used in robotic manipulation tasks and to initiate
                                                collaborations between researchers of robotics manipulation community.
                                                The workshop is a half-day workshop.
