Robotic dexterous manipulation: From tele-operation to autonomous learning and adaptive control

Manipulation is one essential capability that enables robots to interact with and change the world. It is very important to understand the principles on how dexterous manipulation can be achieved from theoretical and technical aspects. From this special issue, we hope that it can bring to readers the latest progresses (or studies) on. How the complex robotic systems have been developed for solving complex manipulation tasks How the manipulation complexity/intelligence is solved by model-based, data-driven or resorted to human intelligence approaches How dexterous manipulation is deployed in the real-world applications, e.g. in industry, medical, service and agriculture etc. domain
