Opening drawers with PR2
This video from Roxana Leontie shows our PR2 robot, Pepe, autonomously opening a drawer. Uncertainty from sensing the drawer's position and imprecision in Pepe's movements can make it challenging to perform tasks like this autonomously.
Opening a drawer using the PR2
My latest research focuses on kinematic model extraction through robotic interaction. Once we have a model the robot uses it to perform actions. Few snapshots of opening a drawer given a model are in these videos that present it in-situ and in simulation. Will update after publication.
