Robotic Manipulation with SLAM
In this project, the cameras integrated into the robotic hands of the Baxter robot are used to directly determine their position within the environment.
This approach enables object manipulation based on the absolute position of the grippers, independent of the robot’s spatial orientation or joint configurations.
The coordinates and movements of the manipulators are computed by executing a Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm on an external computer.
