Mobile Manipulation in Domestic Environments Using A Low Degree of Freedom Manipulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a mobile manipulation system used by the Georgia Tech team in the RoboCup@Home 2010 competition. An overview of the system is provided, including the approach taken for manipulation, SLAM, object detection, object recognition, and system integration. We focus on our manipulation strategy, which utilizes a low-degree of freedom manipulator and makes use of the robot’s differential drive as part of the manipulation strategy. Empirical results demonstrating our platform’s ability to detect and grasp a variety of tabletop objects are presented.

Control of Wheeled Mobile Manipulators with Flexible Suspension Considering Wheels Slip Effects
Wheeled mobile manipulators utilize both the locomotion capabilities of the wheeled platform and manipulation capacity of the arm. While the modelling and control of such systems have previously been studied, most of them have considered robots with rigid suspension and their wheels are subject to pure rolling conditions. To relax the aforementioned limiting assumptions, this research addresses...
متن کاملReactive Whole-Body Control for Dynamic Mobile Manipulation
In this article, we present a control framework for reactive mobile manipulation of robotic systems with a large number of actuated degrees of freedom (DOF). We apply the concept to the humanoid robot Rollin’ Justin of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). As service robotics is expected to be established in households and human environments in the near future, we consider relevant aspects like sa...
متن کاملNonprehensile palmar manipulation with a mobile robot
Manipulation is a key capability for mobile robots to perform a greater variety of useful tasks. In this paper, we consider mobile robots equipped with low degree-of-freedom “palm manipulators.” The advantage of using this sort of nonprehensile (i.e. nongrasping) manipulator is its simplicity and versatility. Although in general multiple robots may be needed, the initial work described in this ...
