Shape Recognition and Optimal Grasping of Unknown Objects by Soft-Fingered Robotic Hands with Camera
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a method is proposed for shape recognition and grasping of unknown objects using a robotic hand with two soft fingers and one omnidirectional camera. For shape recognition, we propose to use a simple 2D version of the visual volume intersection method to obtain the visual hull of the object in a horizontal plane from multiple images taken from different positions around the object. For grasping we propose a simple grasp quality criterion to obtain the best grasping position for the two soft fingers based on the obtained visual hull. We conducted several experiments to show the validity of the proposed method.

Dexterous multi-fingered hands can accomplish fine manipulation behaviors that are infeasible with simple robotic grippers. However, sophisticated multi-fingered hands are often expensive and fragile. Low-cost soft hands offer an appealing alternative to more conventional devices, but present considerable challenges in sensing and actuation, making them difficult to apply to more complex manipu...

متن کاملKinematic Analysis of a Dexterous Hand
Handling of objects with irregular shapes and that of flexible/soft objects by ordinary robot grippers is difficult. Multi fingered gripper may be a solution to such handling tasks. However, dexterous grippers will be the appropriate solution to such problems. Although it is possible to develop robotic hands which can be very closely mapped to human hands, it is sometimes not to be done due to ...
