Industrial bin picking for tangled-prone objects requires the robot to either pick up untangled objects or perform separation manipulation when the bin contains no isolated objects. The robot must be able to flexibly perform appropriate…
Wire harnesses are essential hardware for electronic systems in modern automotive vehicles. With a shift in the automotive industry towards electrification and autonomous driving, more and more automotive electronics are responsible for…
In this work a system for recognizing grasp points in RGB-D images is proposed. This system is intended to be used by a domestic robot when deploying clothes lying at a random position on a table. By taking into consideration that the grasp…
The health and safety hazards posed by worn crane lifting ropes mandate periodic inspection for damage. This task is time-consuming, prone to human error, halts operation, and may result in the premature disposal of ropes. Therefore, we…
Many methods exist to model and track deformable one-dimensional objects (e.g., cables, ropes, and threads) across a stream of video frames. However, these methods depend on the existence of some initial conditions. To the best of our…
Tracing - estimating the spatial state of - long deformable linear objects such as cables, threads, hoses, or ropes, is useful for a broad range of tasks in homes, retail, factories, construction, transportation, and healthcare. For long…
Crack detection is of great significance for monitoring the integrity and well-being of the infrastructure such as bridges and underground pipelines, which are harsh environments for people to access. In recent years, computer vision…
The task of detecting and classifying damages in sewer pipes offers an important application area for computer vision algorithms. This paper describes a system, which is capable of accomplishing this task solely based on low quality and…
Characterization of the deformation of materials across different length scales has continuously attracted enormous attention from the mechanics and materials communities. In this study, the possibility of utilizing a computer vision…
This paper introduces a novel and general method to address the problem of using a general-purpose robot manipulator with a parallel gripper to wrap a deformable linear object (DLO), called a rope, around a rigid object, called a rod,…
While robotic manipulation of rigid objects is quite straightforward, coping with deformable objects is an open issue. More specifically, tasks like tying a knot, wiring a connector or even surgical suturing deal with the domain of…
This paper presents a solution to controlling humanoid robotic systems. The robot can be programmed to execute certain complex actions based on basic motion primitives. The humanoid robot is programmed using a PC. The software running on…
Manipulation of deformable objects, such as ropes and cloth, is an important but challenging problem in robotics. We present a learning-based system where a robot takes as input a sequence of images of a human manipulating a rope from an…
This paper proposes a unified vision-based manipulation framework using image contours of deformable/rigid objects. Instead of using human-defined cues, the robot automatically learns the features from processed vision data. Our method…
Regular inspection of rail valves and engines is an important task to ensure the safety and efficiency of railway networks around the globe. Over the past decade, computer vision and pattern recognition based techniques have gained traction…
Finishing operations on large-scale composite components like wind turbine blades, including trimming and sanding, often require multiple workers and part repositioning. In the composites manufacturing industry, automation of such processes…
Wire harnesses are essential connecting components in manufacturing industry but are challenging to be automated in industrial tasks such as bin picking. They are long, flexible and tend to get entangled when randomly placed in a bin. This…
Researchers and robotic development groups have recently started paying special attention to autonomous mobile robot navigation in indoor environments using vision sensors. The required data is provided for robot navigation and object…
This paper addresses the challenge of industrial bin picking using entangled wire harnesses. Wire harnesses are essential in manufacturing but poses challenges in automation due to their complex geometries and propensity for entanglement.…
Purpose: Navigating urban environments poses significant challenges for individuals who are blind or have low vision, especially in areas affected by construction. Construction zones introduce hazards such as uneven surfaces, barriers,…
