Vision-based grasping plays an important role in the robot providing better services. It is still challenging under disturbed scenes, where the target object cannot be directly grasped constrained by the interferences from other objects. In this article, a robotic grasping approach with firstly moving the interference objects is proposed based on elliptical cone-based potential fields. Single-shot multibox detector (SSD) is adopted to detect objects, and considering the scene complexity, Euclidean cluster is also employed to obtain the objects without being trained by SSD. And then, we acquire the vertical projection of the point cloud for each object. Considering that different objects have different shapes with respective orientation, the vertical projection is executed along its major axis acquired by the principal component analysis. On this basis, the minimum projected envelope rectangle of each object is obtained. To construct continuous potential field functions, an elliptical-based functional representation is introduced due to the better matching degree of the ellipse with the envelope rectangle among continuous closed convex curves. Guided by the design principles, including continuity, same-eccentricity equivalence, and monotonicity, the potential fields based on elliptical cone are designed. The current interference object to be grasped generates an attractive field, whereas other objects correspond to repulsive ones, and their resultant field is used to solve the best placement of the current interference object. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified by experiments.

This paper focuses on the perception step of robotic grasping unknown objects in order to get a stable grasping hypothesis. At first, hierarchical shape context feature is proposed to depict the local and global shape character of a sample point along the edges of the object. Moreover a kind of random forests classifier is adopted to recognize the grasping candidates in the image from vision system so that a 2D grasping rectangle can be generated through kernel density estimation. Finally, by means of stereo matching, the grasping rectangle can be mapped into the 3D space. Thus, the center of the grasping rectangle can be applied as the center of the gripper. The approaching vector and the grasping rectangle direction can be employed to determine the pose of the gripper. Simulated experiments showed that a reasonable and stable grasping rectangle can be generated for various unknown objects.

When the typically utilized method for detecting the drilling conditions of high-temperature geothermal wells is applied, the detection takes a long time, the detection results are inconsistent with the actual conditions, and there are problems such as low detection efficiency and large detection deviation. Therefore, a method for detecting the drilling conditions of high-temperature geothermal wells described by a unit quaternion is proposed. Based on quaternion theory, the quaternion model of the position and attitude is constructed to obtain the drilling attitude. According to the analysis results and the basic principle of kernel principal component analysis, a model is built to realize the detection of high-temperature geothermal well drilling conditions. The experimental results show that in many iterations, the time required is stable and lower than that of other comparison methods, and the detection errors are all lower than 10%. The proposed method has high detection efficiency and low detection errors.
