In order for robots to be useful in real world learning scenarios, non-expert human teachers must be able to interact with and teach robots in an intuitive manner. One essential robot capability is wide-area (mobile or nonstationary) pick-and-place tasks. Even in its simplest form, pick-and-place is a hard problem due to uncertainty arising from noisy input demonstrations and non-deterministic real...
Intelligent object manipulation is critical for a robot to effectively operate in a household environment. There are many grasp planners that can estimate grasps based on object shape, but these approaches often perform poorly because they miss key information about non-visual object characteristics. Object model databases can account for this information, but existing methods for database construction...
Object recognition and manipulation are critical in enabling robots to interact with objects in a household environment. Construction of 3D object recognition databases is time and resource intensive, often requiring specialized equipment, and is therefore difficult to apply to robots in the field. We present a system for constructing object models for 3D object recognition and manipulation made possible...
