3-Axis Cartesian Grasping Robot & Auto Parking

Vision-Guided Cartesian Gripper and LiDAR-Based Auto Parking

8 technologies used

System Overview

Developed a comprehensive autonomous system integrating a 3-axis Cartesian gantry onto an omnidirectional mobile base. The mobile base utilizes 2D LiDAR geometry and RANSAC-based line detection to perceive its environment, enabling a phased docking controller with safety mechanisms like anti-windup and deadband filtering for reliable auto-parking. The mounted 3-axis gantry operates via an open-loop stepper motor system with an FSM, using a RealSense 3D camera for visual perception. By combining YOLO object segmentation with depth filtering (median and 30th percentile) and utilizing an Affine matrix for precise Hand-Eye calibration, the robot effectively identifies, locates, and grasps objects autonomously.
