Perception of Deformable Objects and Compliant Manipulation for Service Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
We identified softness in robot control as well as robot perception as key enabling technologies for future service robots. Compliance in motion control compensates for small errors in model acquisition and estimation and enables safe physical interaction with humans. The perception of shape similarities and deformations allows a robot to adapt its skills to the object at hand, given a description of the skill that generalizes between different objects. In this paper, we present our approaches to compliant control and object manipulation skill transfer for service robots. We report on evaluation results and public demonstrations of our approaches.

Position / Force Hybrid Control of a Manipulator with a Flexible Tool Using Visual and Force Information
Robots used for industrial applications such as welding, painting and object handling have been common for many years. In recent years, the development of domestic robots has become more and more important because of the large and growing population of aged people, especially in Japan. To assist people in their daily lives, a robot must have the ability to deal with not only rigid objects but a...

Mobile manipulation robots are envisioned to provide many useful services both in domestic environments as well as in the industrial context. Examples include domestic service robots, that implement large parts of the housework, and versatile industrial assistants, that provide automation, transportation, inspection, and monitoring services. The challenge in these applications is that the robot...
متن کاملCharacterization of Textile Grasping Experiments
Grasping highly deformable objects, like textiles, is an emerging area of research that involves both perception and manipulation abilities. As new techniques appear, it becomes essential to design strategies to compare them. However, this is not an easy task, since the large state-space of textile objects explodes when coupled with the variability of grippers, robotic hands and robot arms perf...

The RoboCup@Home league is a benchmark for domestic service robot systems. It evaluates approaches to mobile manipulation and human-robot interaction by testing integrated systems. In this article, we detail the contributions of our team NimbRo, with which we won the RoboCup@Home competition in 2011. We demonstrated novel capabilities in the league such as real-time tabletop segmentation, flexi...
متن کاملEdge Tracing Manipulation of Clothes Based on Different Gripper Types
Problem statement: Edge tracing is considered important for deformable object manipulation in order to spread and reveal the original shape of an object before it can be sorted. It is important in unfolding clothes to reveal its original state during sorting. Tracing in this study context involved tracing the clothes edge, with the robot arm movement based on feedback from sensors. Development ...
