2. Color Block Tracking and Grasping

Color Block Tracking and Grasping

Before starting this function, you need to close the main program and APP processes. If you need to restart the main program and APP later, start them from the terminal:

bash ~/dofbot_pro/APP_DOFBOT_PRO/start_app.sh

1. Function Description

After the program starts, it recognizes color blocks and tracks them, making the color block center coincide with the image center. After the robotic arm is stationary for 2-3 seconds, if the depth distance is valid (not 0), the buzzer will sound once, and the robotic arm will adjust its posture to grasp the color block. After grasping, it places it at the designated position, then returns to the color block recognition posture.

The wooden block used in this lesson: 40x40x40mm wooden block.

2. Startup and Operation

2.1. Startup Commands

Users with the Jetson Nano board version must enter the Docker container before executing the following commands; users with the Orin board can simply open a terminal and execute the commands directly.

xxxxxxxxxx
# Start camera:
ros2 launch orbbec_camera dabai_dcw2.launch.py
# Start low-level control:
ros2 run dofbot_pro_driver arm_driver
# Start inverse kinematics program:
ros2 run dofbot_pro_info kinemarics_dofbot
# Start color block tracking and grasping program:
ros2 run dofbot_pro_color color_follow

2.2. Operation

After the program starts, hold a 4cm*4cm color block in front of the camera. Use the mouse to select a part of the color block area to obtain the HSV value of the color block. The program starts recognizing the color block. The robotic arm will adjust its posture to make the color block center coincide with the image center. Slowly move the color block, and the robotic arm will follow the color block movement, continuously adjusting its posture. After the color block center coincides with the image center, if the depth information in the upper left corner of the image is not 0 and the distance from the color block to the base is less than 30cm, it means the color block center coordinate depth value is valid and within the robotic arm's grasping range. The buzzer will sound once, and the robotic arm will adjust its posture to grasp the color block based on its position. After grasping, it places it at the designated position and finally returns to the recognition posture. If the robotic arm cannot meet the conditions (depth information not 0 and distance less than 30cm, greater than 18cm), you need to move the color block back and forth again to make it stationary after tracking to meet the grasping conditions.
