Abstract
We developed a service robot that picks up everyday objects. The robot is equipped with a small manipulator and a Kinect sensor. A role of the robot is to collect objects which lie scattered on the floor of a room before a cleaning robot (Roomba) works. The robot uses not only a sensor mounted on it but also one laser range finder (LRF) installed in the room. By this, the robot can find objects and move to the grasping point efficiently.
