Abstract:

Recently, robotic technologies, from industrial machines to commercial entertainment products, are increasingly influential in our lives. There is continual development of robots for domestic, medical, and industrial purposes under way in corporate and university research labs. In efforts to make robots more intelligent and cognitive, robots have been developed to obtain much useful information including scene understanding and spatial relationship from a machine vision system.

TRecently, robotic technologies, from industrial machines to commercial entertainment products, are increasingly influential in our lives. There is continual development of robots for domestic, medical, and industrial purposes under way in corporate and university research labs. In efforts to make robots more intelligent and cognitive, robots have been developed to obtain much useful information including scene understanding and spatial relationship from a machine vision system.

Finally, we demonstrate two grasping scenarios with a dexterous arm, ADAM, where an object in front of ADAM can be grasped. This demonstration shows our robot arm can robustly and autonomously grasp a randomly rotative rigid object detected by SIFT in 3D space.
