Abstract

This paper introduces a method that can represent the irregular deformations of a flat flexible object and reproduce the same deformations on a similar object which is in an initial state. The work was carried out in two stages: (a) analyze and estimate the deformation of the object in the target state by a deformation estimation method, (b) planning and execution by a real-time sensor feedback loop. The novelty of the proposal concerns detecting the major deformations and ignoring the undesired deformations due to surface wrinkling, surface roughness, or noisy depth data. Different experimental settings were applied to efficiently estimate the various deformations of the handkerchief and reproduce similar deformations by the six-degree-of-freedom robotic manipulator and RGB-D vision sensor. The subject of this work is a flat flexible object, but it can be extended for more general conditions.
