Kitchen Assist Robot KAR

There are many tools and appliances within a human's daily life environment that were created with the assumption of human use. One of the desires of a home assistant robot is that it is able to use these objects to perform jobs useful to humans. Our aim is for robots to be able to support humans in tasks in the kitchen. We are developing an arm-shaped robot for installation within a kitchen, that could perform basic operations such as: 1) recognition of tableware, 2) tableware manipulation, 3) tableware transport, and 4) arranging tableware within a dishwasher. We have developed a gripping hand with a wide variety of precise sensors that can adeptly handle tableware. The hand also has areas of both high friction and low friction that allow for graspless manipulation.
