Graspit! A versatile simulator for robotic grasping
A.T. Miller,Peter K. Allen +1 more
TL;DR: The different types of world elements and the general robot definition are discussed and the robot library is presented, and the grip analysis and visualization method were presented.
Patent
Insertable device and system for minimal access procedure
TL;DR: In this article, a system and single or multi-functional element device that can be inserted and temporarily placed or implanted into a structure having a lumen or hollow space, such as a subject's abdominal cavity to provide therewith access to the site of interest in connection with minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Automatic grasp planning using shape primitives
TL;DR: This paper aims to simplify automatic grasp planning for robotic hands by modeling an object as a set of shape primitives, such as spheres, cylinders, cones and boxes, to generate aSet of grasp starting positions and pregrasp shapes that can then be tested on the object model.
Journal ArticleDOI
A survey of sensor planning in computer vision
TL;DR: A survey of research in the area of vision sensor planning is presented, and a brief description of representative sensing strategies for the tasks of object recognition and scene reconstruction are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated tracking and grasping of a moving object with a robotic hand-eye system
TL;DR: An attempt to achieve a high level of interaction between a real-time vision system capable of tracking moving objects in 3-D and a robot arm with gripper that can be used to pick up a moving object is described.
