Roomba with Non-Prehensile Object Grasping
     



That's a fancy way of saying this Roomba can pick things up from
the floor and hand them to humans. This is not just a simple hack either
but very nicely designed end-effector documented in great detail in the
paper, "1000
Trials: An Empirically Validated End Effector that Robustly Grasps
Objects from the Floor" (PDF format). The Roomba
Dustpan End-Effector project was done at Georgia Tech's Healthcare Robotics Lab as a
proof-of-concept for the idea of a semi-autonomous assistive robot for
home use by motor-impaired users. A future model is planned that will
include a scissor-lift to elevate objects after they are grasped. Thanks
to Robots.net reader Travis Deyle for tipping us off to this project.
