BADGr

BADGr, the BoxGrasping toolbox, is a package for Box Approximation, Decomposition, and Grasping. The toolbox was developed in the Computer Vision & Active Perception Lab, at the Royal Institute of Technology, as a participant of the EU research project PACO-PLUS, and published at the project's end in Summer 2010.

BADGr provides modules to approximate the shape of a point cloud (possibly from sensor data) by box primitives. These box primitives then serve as a base for the generation of box-based pre-grasp hypotheses for robot grippers.
