Figure 1: Roman is a novel robotic design making everyday handheld objects more robotically manipulable, i.e., easier to be manipulated by a conventional robotic arm. This figure shows a sequence of a Roman-enabled robotic arm picking up a wire cutter on the desk and performing a wire cutting task collaborating with a human (a-d). Roman provides a magnetic gripper (e) for the robotic arm to easily attach and augment the wire cutter with Roman mechanism (f). Snapping in the mechanism using magnets (g), the gripper can actuate the gear-rack movement on the wire cutter (h) to perform the cutting task by squeezing the cutter's handles (i).
