An intelligent interface device for grasping an object includes a manipulating robot comprising a hinged arm provided with a clamp at its free end and equipped with at least one camera, a computer with a display screen and an input unit, means for controlling the clamp, means for displaying the video image of the object taken by a camera on the display screen, means for graphically identifying a selection area surrounding the object in this image using the input unit.

Intelligent interface device for grasping of an object by a manipulating robot and method of implementing this device

A reconnaissance process for taking successive images () of an object using a camera by pairing optimally points (A, B) into a single movement (&#x394;m) compatible with the movement of the camera that has taken two images to calculate the position of the object. The points that can be paired belong to the object even if they have been obtained automatically, whereas the background of the image often has a lower number of points making it impossible to pair with the movement (&#x394;m).
