Mechanical Design of a Cartesian Manipulator for Warehouse Pick and Place
M. McTaggart, D. Morrison, A. W. Tow +8
Robotic manipulation and grasping in cluttered and unstructured environments is a current challenge for robotics. Enabling robots to operate in these challenging environments have…
Design of a Multi-Modal End-Effector and Grasping System: How Integrated Design helped win the Amazon Robotics Challenge
S. Wade-McCue, N. Kelly-Boxall, M. McTaggart +19
We present the grasping system and design approach behind Cartman, the winning entrant in the 2017 Amazon Robotics Challenge. We investigate the design processes leading up to the…
Cartman: The low-cost Cartesian Manipulator that won the Amazon Robotics Challenge
D. Morrison, A. W. Tow, M. McTaggart +19
The Amazon Robotics Challenge enlisted sixteen teams to each design a pick-and-place robot for autonomous warehousing, addressing development in robotic vision and manipulation. Th…
Heavy Element Abundances in Presolar Silicon Carbide Grains from Low-Metallicity AGB Stars
P. Hoppe, J. Leitner, C. Vollmer +4
Primitive meteorites contain small amounts of presolar minerals that formed in the winds of evolved stars or in the ejecta of stellar explosions. Silicon carbide is the best studie…
Semantic Segmentation from Limited Training Data
A. Milan, T. Pham, K. Vijay +22
We present our approach for robotic perception in cluttered scenes that led to winning the recent Amazon Robotics Challenge (ARC) 2017. Next to small objects with shiny and transpa…
