Abstract
Flexible objects such as clothes are hard to be handled by robots. But the working conditions for laundry factories are severe because of dusts, heats and steams, and full automation systems which can handle clothes are highly required. To automate these factories, the combination of 3-D Vision systems and flexible handling mechanism are dispensable to handle flexible clothes. But they were not so successful. Here, the cloth handling task has been analyzed and the best combination of the sensors and the mechanisms has been pursued. The experimental system has been developed and proved its efficiency.
