A Robotic Manipulator tracking and catching 3D flying objects [ ]


This paper elaborates the tracking and catching 3D flying object using a robotic manipulator. For getting the desired output requires to clear these three problems: to predict the trajectory path of the flying object coming towards the manipulator, to find out the catching configuration, and adjust the arm according to that. In this paper, we focus on estimating the possible trajectory paths accessible by the two link robotic manipulator with gripper connected. After the designed trajectory paths are given to the robot arm, the gripper attached to it moves according to that trajectories. (Department of Control and Automation, VIT University, Vellore, India.)
