Caption

Based on camera information, the arm grips both ends of the Velcro (A.1, B.1). Using tactile information, it senses the orientation of the tape and adjusts the posture and angle to align the hook surface with the loop surface (A.2, B.2). The Velcro is fixed, and the right arm presses it to ensure a firm connection (A.3, B.3). Different tape manipulation movements are automatically generated to adapt to the situation.
