A Trajectory generation of cloth object folding motion toward realization of housekeeping robot

In our research, we aim to construct a house-keeping robot system which folds laundry. And, we propose a way for folding clothes without vision sensing device. To realize this system, we prepare appropriate fixed folding motion. We analyzed cloth folding motions by human. And, we found fixed folding motion pattern for the robot. Furthermore, we generated a trajectory of folding motion which is applicable to different size of towels. We confirmed the effectiveness of our method through experiments without the use of vision sensing device.
