Conference paper from the 2016 International Symposium on Experimental Robotics.

This paper presented a complete system for household mobile manipulation, focused on the practical challenges of perceiving objects, planning multi-step motions, and recovering from failure.

The work was validated on a table-clearing task where the robot loaded objects into a tray and transported it. The results showed improved success rate and task completion time by designing the system around expected real-world performance.
