Illumination control in robotic end effector manipulation

Abstract

A component of a system, including: processor circuitry; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processor circuitry to: receive image data of an object captured by a camera; analyze a visual feature of the object based on the received image data; generate illumination patterns based on the analyzed visual feature; and control arrays of light sources integrated into a plurality of fingers of a robotic gripper to project the illumination patterns within a grasp volume defined by the plurality of fingers during object manipulation to enhance detection of the visual feature of the object, wherein each light source in the arrays of light sources is individually controllable.
