Cleaning Task

Post by yifanzhou »

Hi guys,

I am currently trying to do cleaning task in coppeliaSim. I want to use the KUKA youbot mobile manipulation and control the end-effect to wipe 3D surface. I am trying to color the surface to represent the stain, and assume that if the end-effect contacts with the surface, the stain will be removed.

I don’t know how to define these properties. Can you help me?

Hello,

instead of using contact, use a proximity sensor at the end-effector: as soon as that proximity sensor is detecting a shape, you know you have a contact. from there on you can apply color patches to your shape. Have a look at the demo models, located in models/components/modifiers: a proximity sensor can return you the handle of the detected object, but also the detection position and the orientation of the surface at the point of detection.

Cheers
