Binocular vision planning with anthropomorphic features for grasping parts by robots

摘要

SUMMARY Planning of an active vision having anthropomorphic features, such as binocularity, foveas and gaze control, is proposed. The aim of the vision is to provide robots with the pose informaton of an adequate object to be grasped by the robots. For this, the paper describes a viewer-oriented fixation point frame and its calibration, active motion and gaze control of the vision, disparity filtering, zoom control, and estimation of the pose of a specific portion of a selected object. On the basis of the importance of the contour information and the scheme of stereo vision in recognizing objects by humans, the occluding contour pairs of objects are used as inputs in order to show the proposed visual planning.
