Dynamic Grasping Using High-speed Visual Feedback

Summary

In most conventional manipulation systems, changes in the environment cannot be observed in real time because the vision sensor is too slow. As a result the system is powerless under dynamics changes or sudden accidents. To solve this problem we have developed a high-speed manipulation system using high-speed visual feedback. This is a hand-arm with a hierarchical parallel processing system and visual feedback rate is set as 1ms. Using this system, we have achieved many manipulation such as grasping, collision avoidance, and so on.
