Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In recent years, development of robots to support people has been promoted. To control a multi-fingered hand robot for executing grasping movements in a living space, it is necessary not only to assign several pre-defined patterns of hand posture but also to recognize the complex 3D shape of an object such as a cup by images and to obtain a more detailed hand posture . Therefore, in this study, we extract features from the images of the object that are required for precise robot hand control and verify the classification of size variation. In the experiment, a camera equipped with a sensor that measures distance information acquires depth images of cups of different sizes. Then, CNN or Variational Auto Encoder is trained with these images as input, and feature extraction is performed on the shapes to evaluate the accuracy of classification. In addition, generalizability evaluation will also be conducted using test data obtained in the bright or dark environment.
