Visually guided grasping

What is it about?

The art of grasping is something that humans and primates have perfected. It seams basic to anyone, but to robots its a very hard task. Interacting with ones environment is the beginning of performing complicated tasks that support and enhance every day life. We are looking at neuroscience to answer the question of grasping for robotics. The first step of which is to make sense of the object in your environment that you want to interact with. This paper outlines provides a way forward.

Why is it important?

This paper shows how neuroscience can help robots interact with their environment. It shows a method of making sense of the world around us to make it easier for machines to perform the grasping tasks that we, as humans, find basic.
