چکیده

For many industrial parts, their natural resting pose differs from the orientation desired for assembly. We have found that it is possible in many cases to compensate for this difference using a parallel-jaw gripper with fixed orientation. The idea is to arrange contact points on each gripper jaw so that the part is reoriented as it is grasped. We analyze the mechanics of compensatory grasping based on a combination of toppling, jamming, accessibility, and form closure and describe an algorithm for the design of such grasps based on the constrained toppling graph.

Gripper Design and Grasp Planning for Fixtureless Assembly

Dedicated fixtures are costly and inflexible. The goal of fixtureless assembly is to replace assembly fixtures with sensor-guided robots equipped with flexible grippers. This, in turn, requires the development of automated grasp planning strategies, and grippers with the flexibility to pick up and immobilize a wide range a object sizes and shapes. In this paper, an efficient grasp planning meth...

Processing Sensor Images for Grasping Disassembly Objects with a Parallel-Jaw Gripper

In this paper, the problem of planning suitable grasps for objects of unknown shape especially in the context of disassembling electronic devices is addressed. An autonomous robot system equipped with a parallel-jaw gripper and a laser range nder is employed for acquisition of adequate object information as well as for disassembly operations. The respective objects to be disassembled are enclos...

Learning to grasp using visual information

A scheme for learning to grasp objects using visual information is presented. A system is considered that coordinates a parallel-jaw gripper (hand) and a camera (eye). Given an object, and considering its geometry, the system chooses grasping points, and performs the grasp. The system learns while performing grasping trials. For each grasp we store location parameters that code the locations of...

Gripper point contacts for part alignment

— The initial resting pose of many industrial parts differs from the orientation desired for assembly. We show that it is possible to align parts during grasping using a standard parallel-jaw gripper. A solution is an arrangement of four gripper point contacts that will align the part in the vertical plane as the jaws close. Given a n-sided polygonal part and k uniformly distributed sample poin...
