To automate linen supply factories completely, we are developing a flexible objects handling robot system. The purpose of this system is to input washing clothes to the pressing and folding line which is still operated by human operators. Now its targets are rectangular clothes as a first step. In order to handle towels, the system has to recognize which client's towel is it and which side up is it...
One of the requirements for the service robot is a automatic tidying operation, and it includes laundry handling. But flexible objects such as clothes are hard to be handled by robots. To handle flexible objects, 3-D Vision systems and flexible handling mechanism are indispensable. We have been developing the clothes handling robot system for linen supply factories. The purpose of this system is to...
To automate linen supply factories, a cloth handling robot system has been developed. This system can pick up a small towel from the piled towels and place it to following process. But a large towel such as bath towels, sheets, etc, may be tangled with other clothes in this system. In order to solve the problem, it is necessary evaluate the status of cloth handling when it picks up clothes. In addition,...
Flexible objects such as clothes are hard to be handled by robots. But the working conditions for laundry factories are severe because of dusts, heats and steams, and full automation systems which can handle clothes are required. To automate these factories, 3-D vision systems are dispensable to recognize the 3-D shape of flexible clothes. There are three steps to handle clothes by robots. They are...
To automate linen supply factories, we have been developing the flexible objects handling robot system. This system is constructed of two multi-joint robots on which a 3-D vision sensor is mounted. In order to handle flexible objects by this system, it is necessary to be able to determine the grasping attitude of robot-hand based on the shape of the flexible object. Especially, in this case, the grasping...
Flexible objects such as clothes are hard to be handled by robots. But the working conditions for laundry factories are severe because of dusts, heats and steams. To automate these factories, the robot system with 3-D Vision systems and a flexible hand are dispensable. To handling the flexible clothes, it is required to recognize the 3-D shape of flexible clothes. To handle the clothes, a robot hand...
Flexible objects such as clothes are hard to be handled by robots. But the working conditions for laundry factories are severe because of dusts, heats and steams. To automate these factories, 3D vision systems are dispensable to recognize the 3D shape of flexible clothes. Here, 3D robot vision systems with stereo cameras and a pattern projector have been introduced to apply the cloth handlings, and...
