Estimation of a multifingered gripper joint configuration using 3D point clouds and AI

In robotic gripping, the positions of the effectors (phalanges or fingertips) on an object must be controlled precisely. CEA-List looked at a practical case where the only information available was a 3D point cloud of the gripper, generated by visual sensors, simulations, or generative neural networks.
