ROBOTIC MANIPULATION OF OBJECTS

Abstract: computer-implemented methods and apparatus for manipulating an object using a robotic device are provided. the method includes associating a first grasp region of an object with an end effector of a robotic device, wherein the first grasp region includes a set of potential grasps achievable by the end effector of the robotic device. the method further includes determining, within the first grasp region, a grasp from among the set of potential grasps, wherein the grasp is determined based, at least in part, on information associated with a capability of the robotic device to perform the grasp, and instructing the robotic device to manipulate the object based on the grasp.
