New video online
16.10.2015
Booth at IROS 2015.
We put a new video only on our YouTube channel. IT shows our robot TOMM that is sorting oranges at the IROS conference 2015 in Hamburg, which took place from September 29- October 1, 2015.
Robot TOMM that is able to sort oranges. The oranges are sorted by their quality. The robot feels the quality because bad ones are usually softer than good ones. The robot feels this with its hand that is equipped with the artificial skin - CellulARSkin. Another specialty in this demonstration is the fact that the robot is not preprogrammed for this task. With semantic reasoning it learned the task from high-level commands such as "pick the orange" "put it in a box". More details in the paper "Understanding the intention of human activities through semantic perception: observation, understanding and execution on a humanoid robot" by Karinne Ramirez-Amaro, Michael Beetz and Gordon Cheng.
