The Language of Deformation: Semantic Failure Analysis as a Prerequisite for Dexterous Manipulation of Deformable Objects

The paper proposes that semantic failure analysis is a key step toward mature dexterous manipulation of deformable objects and supports this claim with proof-of-concept experiments. Unlike rigid-object manipulation, cables, plastic parts, cloth, and similar objects exhibit diverse and hard-to-detect failure modes such as buckling, plastic deformation, pressure changes, and tearing due to differences in materials, geometry, and behavior, requiring different corrective strategies. The authors define the components and challenges of semantic failure analysis and present experimental results indicating its potential as a research direction.
