Application: System and method for providing in hand robotics dexterous manipulation of objects (Patent ID: US20240091938A1)
The patent filed by Honda Motor Co Ltd. describes a system and method for enabling precise manipulation of objects by a robotic system. The technology involves determining the geometry, position, and placement of robotic fingers on the object, calculating the direction of rolling or rotation, updating the object's position based on finger motion, and adjusting contact points to ensure a secure grasp. The method utilizes image and LiDAR data for object and robot analysis, tactile sensors for finger placement, and joint motion computation for rolling or rotating the object.
The system includes a memory storing instructions for determining object geometry, position, and finger placement, computing rolling or rotation direction, updating object position based on finger motion, and adjusting contact points for a secure grasp. It also incorporates image and LiDAR data analysis, tactile sensors for finger placement, joint motion computation for rolling or rotating objects, and commands for maintaining force closure during manipulation. This technology aims to enhance robotic dexterity and manipulation capabilities for various applications.
