The eyes of the system is the Microsoft Kinect.
Developed by Columbia University have created an intelligent control system iron.
As the “brain” he used a graphics card from NVIDIA. The resulting robot is capable of real time learning on the basis of the previously defined basic data. The eyes of the system is the Microsoft Kinect.
According to the engineer, the process of Ironing a complex process and requires certain skills. The robot is forced to determine the type of fabrics, clothing design and take into account other parameters in real time.
At the beginning of the work machine sees his goal, and then selects the desired mode and completes the process, collecting clothes. With the help of sensors the robot finds the folds of the fabric to provide the necessary degree of pressure.
The authors did not aim to teach the robot to iron the clothes. This technology improves image recognition and search of imperfections in the materials.
