In this work, we present a synchronous co-simulation of 6DOF (six degree freedom) ball and plate platform its 3D computer model. The in the virtual environment is intended to mimic rendezvous between cargo vehicle such as Falcon 9 from SpaceX ISS (International Space Station). visual feedback sensing position implemented using Kinect RGB-D device. human loop acts supervisory control for initiat...

Robust techniques for object recognition and pose estimation are essential for robotic manipulation and object grasping. In this paper, a novel approach for object recognition and pose estimation based on color cooccurrence histograms and geometric modelling is presented. The particular problems addressed are: (i) robust recognition of objects in natural scenes, (ii) estimation of partial pose ...

Mobile manipulation in service robotic applications requires the alignment of the end-effector with recognized objects of unknown pose. Image based visual servoing provides a means of model-free manipulation of objects solely relying on 2D image information. This contribution proposes a visual servoing scheme that utilizes the pixel coordinates, scale and orientation of the Scale Invariant Feat...

Estimating the external calibration – the pose – of a camera with respect to its environment is a fundamental task in Computer Vision (CV). In this paper, we propose a novel method for estimating the unknown 6DOF pose of a camera with known intrinsic parameters from epipolar geometry only. For a set of geo-located reference images, we assume the camera position but not the orientation to be kno...

This research proposes a computation approach to address the evaluation of end product machining accuracy in elliptical surfaced helical pipe bending using 6dof parallel manipulator as a pipe bender. The target end product is wearable metal muscle supporters used in build-to-order welfare product manufacturing. This paper proposes a product testing model that mainly corrects the surface directi...
