Grasping Objects From the Floor in Assistive Robotics: Real World Implications and Lessons Learned

This paper presents a system enabling a mobile robot to autonomously pick-up objects a human is pointing at from the floor. The system does not require object models and is designed to grasp unknown objects. The robot decides by itself if an object is suitable for grasping by considering measures of...
