Software Modules for Command and Control of the Anthropomorphic Gripper for Robots

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents two software modules of the general structure and implementation features of the original software for command and control of the anthropomorphic gripper for robots. The software has three modules: RoboVISION, RoboSIM and RoboCOMMANDER. RoboVISION is a software module for tracing, visualization, shape recognition, measurement, and efficiency evaluation for 3D model generation of objects to grip by an anthropomorphic gripper. It was presented in another paper. This paper discribes RoboSIM nad Robo COMMANDER. RoboSIM product is an advanced software module that aims primarily to reduce achievement time of functional simulation of anthropomorphic grippers. RoboCOMMANDER is a software module for controlling a three-fingered anthropomorphic robotic hand in both virtual and real environments. The approach is using a multimodal interface based on voice commands, remote manipulation, and smart, remote controlling mobile devices.
