This article presents ROGIBOT, an autonomous robot designed for high-speed unloading inside standard containers. Previous unloading robots have typically been limited to handling only box-shaped packages and a small number of items at a time. These limitations hinder their applicability in general l…
Robotic picking from cluttered bins is a demanding task, for which Amazon Robotics holds challenges. The 2017 Amazon Robotics Challenge (ARC) required stowing items into a storage system, picking specific items, and packing them into boxes. In this paper, we describe the entry of team NimbRo Picking…
Robots acting in open environments need to be able to handle novel objects. Based on the observation that objects within a category are often similar in their shapes and usage, we propose an approach for transferring grasping skills from known instances to novel instances of an object category. Corr…
Coordination between visual sensors and robot manipulators is necessary for successful manipulation. This paper proposes a novel visual-motor coordination method that performs online parameter estimation of an RGB-D camera mounted in a robot head without any external markers. Through self-observatio
This paper presents a novel point-cloud descriptor for robust and real-time tracking of multiple objects without any object knowledge. Following with the framework of incremental model-free multiple object tracking from our previous work [5][7][6], 6 DoF pose of each object is firstly estimated with…
