Abstract

Recently, the demand to manipulate deformable objects such as a string and cloth by robots is growing. The reason is that it has the possibility of making our lives more convenient in many domains such as housework, manufacturing and medical field. However, manipulation of deformable objects is more difficult than that of rigid objects, because deformable objects have variety of shape and variety of appearance. Therefore, our research group has been focusing on the string shape operation by a robot. This paper describes planning method of string tying operation based on knot theory and algorithms to generate the motion of a manipulator. Face List is proposed as shape abstraction data of string projection. Face List is data in which a plurality of faces included in the string projection are listed in a list form. Finally, the result of string tying experiment is reported.
