As robots are becoming popular labor force, we can expect more robots to work in places more familiar to our daily lives such as restaurants. This paper aims at realizing a manipulation of line-shaped flexible objects to achieve its appetizing looks. As a first step, we try to develop a system for handling and manipulating a line-shaped flexible object: a method for controlling the bias of the object: a method for estimating the center of gravity and contact point to further estimate the distribution of line-shaped flexible objects in the robotic hand. The efficacy of the developed system was validated by several experiences.
