Transcript Chris report

Current Works
• Performed several trial grasping experiments with John
(using a black glove with 3M tape as markers)
– Determined best way to track finger movements during
grasp is by using MATLAB to parse direct marker locations
(not using “trackable” objects)
• Created code to be used with John’s parsing algorithm
that will stream marker locations in real time to
MATLAB
• Tried several different camera configurations to
determine what arrangements should work best
• Ran experiments to determine system accuracy
– Seems to vary depending on the location of the object in
relation to the cameras
• Mounted cameras to truss
Whats next?
• Continue assisting John as needed
– Assembling Truss and mounting cameras
– Performing grasping experiments
• Document motion capture system in Lab Wiki
• Build a database containing all experiment
data
• Review grasping notes/complete assignments
