The goal is to create a system through which a robot uses machine learning to understand the teleoperator's intents. The robot would then be able to perform actions such as grasps on objects as well as pick and place events while removing stress from the operator.
There are three powerpoint presentations which cover the topic of grasp recognition listed on the main page.
Also, you may visit the REU Public Wiki for more information on this project as well as other students projects.
