Abstract
A robotic system, including: a robot having an arm with a multi-fingered soft gripper that is formed of a compliant material; an image sensor fixedly mounted on the arm to move with the multi-fingered soft gripper, and operable to capture image data of the multi-fingered soft gripper composed of a compliant material; and processor circuitry operable to generate a model of a state of the multi-fingered soft gripper by: controlling the arm to move in a predefined motion pattern while the image sensor captures the image data; deriving an optical flow based on the image data and consecutive arm kinematic and velocity frame states; and segmenting between a multi-fingered soft gripper portion and a background portion of the image data based on the optical flow, wherein static regions of the optical flow represent the multi-fingered soft gripper portion, dynamic regions of the optical flow represent the background portion, and non-coherent regions of the optical flow represent contour between the multi-fingered soft gripper portion and the background portion of the image data.
