13.10.2021 Meeting Notes

Meeting Details

Date : 13th October 2021

Time : 12:30 – 13:00

Location : Chair of CPS, Montanuniverität Leoben

Participants: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Elmar Rueckert, Vedant Dave

Agenda

Tactile Sensing approach description and hand implementation

Topic 1: Implementation of Robotic hand in the Manipulator and Data acquisition

  1. Data acquisition from robotic gripper
  2. Repeatability check for same grasp configuration

Topic 2: Implement Existing Algorithm

Implement any existing algorithm when the robotic hand implementation is done. This needs to be discussed later.

Next Steps

  1. Attach the Robot hand to the Manipulator.
  2. Collect the tactile data for different objects and check repeatability of data.
