It could help warehouse robots grab customer\u00a0orders or\u00a0tools\u00a0that are occluded behind obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>Existing mechanical search systems struggle with these tasks due to the constraints of their sensors. If an object is concealed, they typically need to explore the environment and search for the item.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike visible light and infrared,\u00a0RF (radio\u00a0frequency) signals can traverse cardboard boxes, wooden walls, plastic covers, and colored glass to perceive objects fitted with RFID tags.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Read:\u00a0How to use AI to better serve your customers]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cResearchers have been giving robots human-like perception,\u201d said study co-author Fadel Adib. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to give robots superhuman perception.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Robotic_perception\"><\/span>Robotic perception<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>RF-Grasp is comprised of a camera on the robot\u2019s wrist and a separate RF reader.\u00a0Together, they collect tracking data and create a visual map of the environment.<\/p>\n<p>The system first pings the object\u2019s RF tag to identify its location.

The researchers say the system completed the tasks with about half as much movement as similar robots equipped with only a camera.<\/p>\n<p>The system does depend on target objects being tagged with RFIDs. But the widespread adoption of these chips as barcode replacements in retail, manufacturing, and warehousing means RF-Grasp could already have a practical impact.<\/p>\n<p>You can read the study paper <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mit.edu\/~fadel\/papers\/RFGrasp-paper.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Greetings Humanoids!
