Disaster Response Robot’s Autonomous Manipulation of Valves in Disaster Sites Based on Visual Analyses of RGBD Images

For building a disaster response robot, WAREC-l's fully-automated system for manipulating a valve, this paper proposes a method for (1) detecting a valve which is far away from the robot, (2) estimating the position and orientation for grasping the valve by the robot at a closer position. Our method…
