    Abstract

    Industrial robots are part of almost all modern factories. Even though, industrial robots nowadays manipulate objects of a huge variety in different environments, exact knowledge about both of them is generally assumed. The aim of this work is to investigate the ability of a robotic system to operate within an unknown environment manipulating unknown objects. The developed system detects objects, finds matching compartments in a placing box, and ultimately grasps and places the objects there. The developed system exploits 3D sensing and visual feature extraction. No prior knowledge is provided to the system, neither for the objects nor for the placing box. The experimental evaluation of the developed robotic system shows that a combination of seemingly simple modules and strategies can provide effective solution to the targeted problem.
