SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING IN HAND ROBOTICS DEXTEROUS MANIPULATION OF OBJECTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18090967 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING IN HAND ROBOTICS DEXTEROUS MANIPULATION OF OBJECTS

Simplified Explanation

The system and method described in the patent application focus on providing in-hand robotics dexterous manipulation of an object. This involves determining the geometry, position, and placement of at least one robotic finger on the object, computing the direction of rolling or rotation of the object, updating the object's position manipulated by the robot, and updating contact points of the robotic finger to ensure a viable grasp with force closure to retain the object.

  • Determining object geometry, position, and robotic finger placement
  • Computing direction of rolling or rotation of the object

Original Abstract Submitted

A system and method for providing in hand robotics dexterous manipulation of an object that include determining a geometry of an object, a position of the object, and a placement of at least one robotic finger of a robot upon the object. The system and method also include computing a direction of rolling or rotation of the object by the at least one robotic finger. The system and method additionally include updating a position of the object that is manipulated by the robot. The system and method further include updating contact points of the at least one robotic finger with respect to contacting the object in a manner that ensures that a viable grasp is enforced to have force closure to retain the object.
