Inside the ROAS Global Robotics Forum: How Clearpath Robots Are Powering Research in South Korea

The ROAS Global Robotics Forum in South Korea showcased four research projects using Clearpath Husky platforms with Franka manipulator arms. Projects demonstrated human-robot collaborative manipulation with object parameter estimation, task-aware semantic planning using GNN-Transformer architecture for natural language instructions, whole-body control using Hierarchical Quadratic Programming with self-collision avoidance, and multi-arm coordination for object retrieval and packing in cluttered environments. The research highlights advances in autonomous manipulation, perception systems, and intelligent decision-making for mobile manipulators.
