Abstract

Techniques for controlling a robotic gripping system that utilizes vacuum suction and finger grasping, are disclosed. The vacuum suction and finger grasping are actuated based on a dynamic collision model. The dynamic collision model is used to generate collision scenes of a surrounding environment. The collision scenes are used to determine possible collisions in a motion path, which are used to selectively actuate the vacuum suction and/or finger grasping.
