Abstract:
Three-dimensional visual servoing for positioning a robot in an environment is facilitated. Three-dimensional point cloud data of a scene of the environment is obtained, the scene including a feature. The three-dimensional point cloud data is converted into a two-dimensional image, and a three-dimensional position of the feature is identified based on the two-dimensional image. An indication of the identified three-dimensional position of the feature is then provided.
Abstract:
Automatic scanning and representing an environment with collision avoidance includes, for example, obtaining a first representation of the environment using a first scanning path, determining a second scanning path based on the first representation of the environment operable to avoid contact with the environment when obtaining a second representation of the environment, obtaining the second representation of the environment based on the second scanning path, and wherein the second representation of the environment is different from the first representation of the environment. The method may be employed in imaging and/or representing a rock wall having a plurality of spaced-apart holes for receiving charges for mining.
