Abstract
A controller is provided for performing dynamic grasping of a target object using visual sensory inputs. The controller includes a robotic interface connected to a robotic arm including links connected by joints having actuators and encoders, and a gripper of the end-effector of the robotic arm configured to grasp the target object in response to robot control signals, and a vision sensor configured to continuously provide visual observations for tracking poses of the target object in a workspace and compute grasp poses, wherein the vision sensor is mounted on a distal end of the robotic arm adjacent to the gripper. The controller trains the Eye-on-Hand reinforcement learner policy, tracks the poses of the target object, and generates robot control signals to follow the target object while keeping it in the field of view of the vision sensor and grasp the target object in the workspace.
