Overview
University of Verona
2013
MSc class project in Robotics supervised by Prof. Paolo Fiorini.
The goal was to equip the the KUKA Youbot robot with a vision system (External device with depth camera) to enable movements and interaction with the surrounding environment.
Thanks to the vision system, the Robot was able to detect and recognize objects in a 3D space.
By solving the inverse Kinematics, the Robot was also able to compute the distance between its current position and the targeted object and automatically find the coordinates to move the base to go grasp it.
