Chapter 36 — Motion for Manipulation Tasks

Reducing uncertainty in robotics surface-assembly tasks

This video demonstrates how surface assembly strategies with pose estimation can be used to overcome pose uncertainties. The assembly path is updated based on the newly estimated values of parameters after the compliant exploratory move. In this way, the robot is able to successfully overcome disparities between the nominal and the actual poses of the objects to accomplish the assembly. No force sensor is used.
