Abstract

The authors consider a situation in which a working robot can not detect a target object to handle due to a sensor occlusion. If another cooperative robot that has a camera observes the working robot with the target object and detects their positions and orientations, it will be possible for the working robot to complete the handling task. This study proposes a method for such an indirect cooperation with assistance based on an observation by the partner robot. The observing robot obtains corresponding points of SIFT(Scale-Invariant Feature Transformation) on the working robot with hand and the target object from multiple captured images. The 3-D position of the target object and hand motion of the working robot can be detected by applying stereo vision theory to the points. The working robot is then able to get the relation between its hand and the target object indirectly from the observing robot. This paper describes each process to establish the indirect cooperation. Fundamental experiments confirmed the validity of presented method.
