Summary on Grant Application Form
To develop robust algorithms which combine uncalibrated stereo vision with a robotic manipulator to enable it to locate, reach and grasp unmodelled objects in an unstructured environment.Progress:Part of the proposed system has been built which allows a robot manipulator to detect its gripper in a cluttered workspace; to learn the transformations between left and right stereo camera and the robot kinematic system by tracking the gripper in simple exploratory movements; and to use estimates of stereo disparity and disparity gradient to reach and track a target object chosen by the user.The user's hand can be tracked by an uncalibrated stereo pair of cameras to determine which object is being pointed to.
