Abstract
Exemplary embodiments relate to user-assisted robotic control systems, user interfaces for remote control of robotic systems, vision systems in robotic control systems, and modular grippers for use by robotic systems. The systems, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media instructions described interact with and control robotic systems, in particular pick and place systems using soft robotic actuators to grasp, move and release target objects.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a display configured to show a control interface;
- an interface configured to transmit control commands to a pick-and-place station, the pick-and-place station comprising a robotic gripper attached to a robotic arm, at least one source location, and at least one target location;
- and
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions configured to:
- display, on the interface, a view of the source location or target location;
- capture an image of the source location or the target location at a first time when the robotic arm is not present in the view;
- identify, at a second time, that the robotic arm is present in the view;
- and
- use the captured image on the display at the second time.
A method for displaying a control interface for a robotic pick-and-place station comprising a robotic gripper attached to a robotic arm, at least one source location, and at least one target location, the method comprising:
- displaying, on the control interface, a view of the source location or target location;
- capturing an image of the source location or the target location at a first time when the robotic arm is not present in the view;
- identifying, at a second time, that the robotic arm is present in the view;
- and
- using the captured image on the display at the second time.
