Grasping objects from a user’s hand using time-of-flight camera data. 21st Annual Symposium of the Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (PRASA 2010), Stellenbosch, South Africa, 22-23 November 2010, pp 50620373849http://hdl.handle.net/10204/489721st Annual Symposium of the Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (PRASA 2010), Stellenbosch, South Africa, 22-23 November 2010For a robotic platform to be able to assist/interact in human environments, the platform must be able to perform some fundamental tasks. This includes interacting with humans by grasping or releasing objects as or when required by the human. This paper presents a system which allows a robotic arm manipulator to grasp any moving object from a user’s hand and releases the object when indicated to do so. Data from a Time-of-Flight camera is fused with an ordinary laboratory camera to create a robust method of rapidly tracking a target object and providing data of possible obstacles. A basic experiment is used to illustrate to the system.enRobotic arm manipulatorsTime-of-flight camera dataKinematicMesa imaging SR4000RoboticsPattern recognitionPRASA 2010Conference PresentationGovender, N., & Claassens, J.
