We are developing a Pick-and-place humanoid robot and encountered this problem: We realized that the robot must be able to decide if it should use only one hand or both hands in picking a certain object based on how large the object is. We came to think of this because it seems awkward to see the robot pick a small object with both hands, while it may not be suitable for the robot to pick a large object with only one hand. May I ask your opinion on what input device do we need to be able to determine the size of the object?
Also, when the robot "decided" to use only one hand, it has to decide which hand it should use. And the obvious answer is the hand nearer to the object should be used. I thought we should need something to determine how far the object is from the left and right hand and compare its distance. May I ask what should we need to get the object's distance from each arm and do we need an extra circuit to compare this values obtained?
