Abstract

This paper proposes an object placement planner for a grasped object during pick-and-place tasks. The proposed planner automatically determines the pose of an object stably placed near a user assigned point on an environment surface. The proposed method first constructs a polygon model of the surrounding environment, and then clusters the polygon model of both the environment and the object where each cluster is approximated by a planar region. The placement of the object can be determined by selecting a pair of clusters between the object and the environment. We further impose several conditions to determine the pose of the object placed on the environment. We show that we can determine the position/orientation of the object placed on the environment for several cases such as hanging a mug cup on a bar. The effectiveness of the proposed research is confirmed through several numerical examples.
