Engineering Research Equipment Grant for Real-Time Computer Vision and Robotics Integration

该奖项是为购买高速采集图像和机械手末端执行器硬件的设备而颁发的。实时性能需要成像设备，操控任务的实验需要末端执行器硬件。该设备还用于整合视觉和操作任务，包括感知、认知和行动。应用机器人研究涉及视觉研究、控制研究、传感器集成和规划算法等多个领域。该提案要求为购买设备提供资金，以支持视觉研究和机械手研究。视觉设备将允许实时处理视觉数据，同时机械手(夹持器等)将允许在机械臂连接到实际机械手的情况下测试机械手算法。

This award is for the purchase of equipment for the high speed acquisition of images and for manipulator end-effector hardware. The image equipment is needed for real-time performance and the end-effector hardware is needed for experimentation with manipulation tasks. The equipment is also used in integrating vision and manipulation tasks incorporating perception, cognition, and action. Applied robotics involves the integration of many areas including vision research, control research, sensor integration, and planning algorithms. This proposal requests funds for the purchase of equipment to support vision research and manipulator research. The vision equipment will allow real time processing of visual data while the manipulators (grippers, etc.) will allow the testing of manipulator algorithms with the robot arm connected to actual manipulators.
