Abstract :
This paper presents the development of a visually guided robotic system for handling food products that are presented in an unstructured manner. Vision guided grasping is described in the context of vector manipulations. The grasp vector is formulated using both online visual information and off-line data. Problems due to the constraints imposed in food handling applications are addressed
