Abstract :
For automated manipulation or a robot, it is important to make the robot recognize the object to be manipulated and know its position and orientation exactly. The authors describe a flexible stereo vision system that can effectively recognize an object and measure the position and the orientation of the object in compliance with the purpose of a task.<>
