Abstract

A task-level robot system named Handey, which is under development, is described. The current system is limited to pick-and-place operations, and it has successfully carried out dozens of such operations involving a variety of parts in relatively complex environments. The pick-and-place problem is described, and approximate approaches to the problem are examined. Heuristic motion planning in Handey is then discussed.
