- Hi,
-
- I am looking for references (and/or software) on 3D representations
- and algorithms suitable for robot grasp planning from range (or stereo)
- images.
-
- We are currently using stereo vision to reconstruct the 3D
- surface of an object and then performing a 2D grasp analysis by simply
- projecting the surface data into the xy plane. This provides a constrained
- grasp pose with the gripper oriented parallel to the xy plane. We are now
- interested in unconstrained grasping in which the 3D data is used to
- determine grasps with arbitrary gripper orientations.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond by E-mail.
-
- Thank you!
