Robotic Arm Manipulation to Perform Rock Skipping in Simulation
Rock skipping is a highly dynamic and relatively complex task that can easily be performed by humans. This project aims to bring rock skipping into a robotic setting, utilizing the lessons we learned in Robotic Manipulation. Specifically, this project implements a system consisting of a robotic arm and dynamic environment to perform rock skipping in simulation. By varying important parameters such as release velocity, we hope to use our system to gain insight into the most important factors for maximizing the total number of skips. In addition, by implementing the system in simulation, we have a more rigorous and precise testing approach over these varied test parameters. However, this project experienced some limitations due to gripping inefficiencies and problems with release height trajectories which is further discussed in our report.
