Mimic Grasping: A Modular and Flexible Programming‐by‐Demonstration Robotic Grasping Solution

ABSTRACT The Industry 5.0 concept guides the industry to the premise of sustainability, resilience and human‐centric solutions. The last related pillar tries to create solutions to empower the people in production line processes since solutions should be designed to be easy to use and easy to learn without discarding the working people. In this regard, it's natural that robots become closer to humans in industrial applications where it is possible to absorb human‐machine qualities. Robotic grasping has widespread application with a wide range of applicability. However, engineers and shop‐floor operators spend time finding a fast response solution when the production demand changes. Aiming to create a tool to help this procedure in a human‐centred fashion, the current paper proposes a programming‐by‐demonstration solution that is easy to use, reuse, adapt, and increment with its modular design.
