Abstract: A system for automatically generating trajectories of an object includes a trajectory generation module comprising a visual control algorithm and a processor configured via computer executable instructions to receive raw three dimensional (3-D) sensor data of an object, create a 3-D model of the object based on the raw 3-D sensor data, extract object features relating to a shape and/or surface from the 3-D model of the object, and generate trajectories based on the object features of the 3-D model of the object.
