Project Ideas
Further details coming Fall 2022…
Stacking Cubes
Locate, grasp, and place cubes using aruco tags. [Advanced] Impose constraints like blue cube must be on red cube, and use planner to determine stacking order
Face Tracking
Using a camera held by the gripper, write controller that follows someone’s face around as they move. [Advanced] anticipate person’s motion for smoother tracking
Throwing Objects into Bin
Design motor sequence to throw object some distance. [Advanced] Parametrize motion to throw object at a specific world position.
Tactile Mapping
Use motor feedback to “map” an object. [Advanced] classify the object
Top-Down Picking
Given top down camera, use computer vision techniques to locate objects and determine grasp pose. [Advanced] use machine learning to generalize to arbitrary objects.
