In order to perform useful tasks, a service robot needs to manipulate objects in its environment. In this paper, we propose a method for experimental evaluation of the suitability of a robotic hand for grasping tasks in service robotics. The method is applied to the Schunk 5-Finger Gripping Hand, which is a mechatronic gripper designed for service robots. During evaluation, it is shown, that it is...
An autonomous ice cream serving robot is presented in this video. The video was filmed during the Automatica 2010 trade fair in Munich. Within four days, approximately 250 scoops of different kinds of ice cream have been served to visitors during the fair. Using the KUKA light-weighted robotic arms and the DLR/HIT robotic hands, two scientific aspects are shown in this video: stable grasping of fragile...
For complex manipulation with multiple objects a service robot needs information about the structure of its environment including how and where it can manipulate in it. For this purpose, we introduce the Graspability. It is a measure describing the quality of a pose in Cartesian space for grasping or placing an object. The graspability considers kinematic reachability for a grasping robot and available...
