This study have been developing a bag-mounted manipulator and working on tidying up by mobile robot equipped with the manipulator.

We have been developing and improving hardware and software of the bag-mounted manipulator. This aims to realize following tasks by the single manipulator.

  1. Tidying up objects which have various size or form.
  2. Tidying up multiple objects simultaneously.
  3. Separation of multiple objects.
