manipulation planning

Manipulation planning involves designing a sequence of actions for a robot or automated system to effectively grasp, move, and position objects within its environment. It considers the capabilities of the robot, the properties of objects, and the goal location, to create a safe and efficient plan. This process ensures that the robot can perform tasks like picking up items, assembling parts, or clearing a workspace accurately, even in complex or uncertain settings. Essentially, it’s about figuring out the best way for a robot to interact with objects to accomplish a specific task smoothly and reliably.
