During the last period of the ECHORD project GRASPY, the object grasping by a humanoid robot Nao was ameliorated. Tests of object grasping while using a head with stereovision system and a head with laser scanner were launched.

 The recent developments can be illustrated by following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8iJEbkdIrY

…as you can observe, the grasping “performance” of the robot is already improved. Nao is now changing its body posture to grasp the cup when it is further down or further to the side.
