  • VISUAL HEIGHT ESTIMATOR WITH ROBOTIC POURING CONTROLLER FOR GRANULAR MEDIA
    Publication number: 20230311330
    Abstract: Provided are a robotic device and a method for controlling a robotic device for pouring a granular media including obtaining an image of a receiving container, identifying, using the image and a convolutional neural network, a current height of granular media in the receiving container, identifying a terminal height of the granular media in the receiving container, determining an input trajectory signal to the robotic device for pouring a non-granular media to the terminal height of the granular media based on the current height of the granular media, determining a wrist tilt command signal by modifying the input trajectory signal using a square wave that is based on a type of the granular media, and controlling the robotic device to tilt and vibrate a source container according to the wrist tilt command signal.
