ToF cameras for eye-in-hand robotics

A Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera is a relatively new type of sensor that delivers 3-dimensional images at high frame rate, simultaneously providing intensity data and range information for every pixel. It has been used in a wide range of applications and here we will describe the lessons learned by usi...

Descripción
Sumario:A Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera is a relatively new type of sensor that delivers 3-dimensional images at high frame rate, simultaneously providing intensity data and range information for every pixel. It has been used in a wide range of applications and here we will describe the lessons learned by using such cameras to perform robotic tasks, specifically in eye-in-hand configurations. In such configurations, the camera is attached to the end-effector of a robot manipulator, so that new images can be obtained by actively changing the point of view of the camera.
