Robots are increasingly utilized in manufacturing and logistics, where bin-picking has become crucial for managing randomly placed objects. However, traditional methods often rely on expensive 3D vision systems, have limited adaptability to unstructured environments, and primarily focus on the picking process, neglecting the placing tasks. To address these challenges, this study presents a cost-effective system that combines a depth camera, YOLO-based instance segmentation, and optimization-based inverse kinematics for real-time object detection and stable manipulation. In the placing stage, an adaptive algorithm detects empty tray holes and generates grid patterns, ensuring reliable placement even in the presence of tray misalignments, occupied slots, or partial occlusions. Experimental validation revealed a 91% success rate in mixed-object environments during picking tasks and a 94% success rate for placing tasks, even with tray displacement and occlusion conditions. The results demonstrate that the system maintains stable performance across both picking and placing processes while minimizing reliance on expensive hardware and complex initial setups. By enhancing flexibility and scalability, the proposed approach offers a practical solution for intelligent automation and can serve as a foundation for broader applications in assembly, logistics, and service robotics.

Hybrid mobile robot is the system that will practically combine legged walking and skated driving in the same system. Therefore, this robot has own problems of inverse kinematics that are not considered in typical walking robots. In this paper, I fully categorized the inverse kinematics problems for hybrid mobile robot with general motion by walking and driving on an inclined plane, including switching end-effectors between foots and blades. I also solved the inverse kinematics for each case of problems. I here actively adopted the coordinate transformation derived from the inclined plane to cope with the random motion of foots and blades on the plane. I then presented several examples of the inverse kinematics problems with specific situations, and verified the validity of the analysis method from the results.
