Object Manipulation is an activity where a robot grasps, moves, and places objects in its environment.
Overview
This is a stub page. This activity is not yet implemented in any BRS robot. This page exists to:
- Document the concept for future implementation
- Invite community members to build it
- Provide a starting point for discussion
Real-World Applications
Pick-and-place assembly, warehouse fulfillment, household assistance robots
Required Capabilities
To perform this activity, a robot needs:
Possible Approaches
Fixed-Position Manipulation
- Objects at known positions
- Pre-programmed gripper movements
- Simple but inflexible
Vision-Guided Grasping
- Detect object position with camera
- Plan gripper approach
- Close gripper based on object size
Force-Feedback Grasping
- Use force sensors in gripper
- Adjust grip strength
- Prevent crushing fragile objects
Contributing
Want to implement this activity? Here's how:
- Add the required capabilities to your robot (sensors/actuators)
- Implement the behavior (algorithm) in code
- Test and document your implementation
- Create an Implementation page (e.g.,
YourRobot:Object Manipulation Implementation) - Update this page to link to your implementation
- Share on Discord or the Mailing List
