description Robots frequently need to work in human environments and handle many different types of objects. There are two problems that make this challenging for robots: human environments are typically cluttered, and the multi-finger robot hand needs to grasp and to lift objects without knowing their mass and damping properties. Therefore, this study combined vision and robot hand real-time grasp control action to achieve reliable and accurate object grasping in a cluttered scene. An efficient online algorithm for collision-free grasping pose generation according to a bounding box is proposed, and the grasp pose will be further checked for grasp quality. Finally, by fusing all available sensor data appropriately, an intelligent real-time grasp system was achieved that is reliable enough to handle various objects with unknown weights, friction, and stiffness. The robots used in this paper are the NTU 21-DOF five-finger robot hand and the NTU 6-DOF robot arm, which are both constructed by our Lab.
