ARM-S Phase 2, Cutting a Wire, 2013

This video shows an autonomous two-arm manipulator performing a sequence of sub-tasks to eventually cut a wire. The robot first identifies bag of tools and a burlap sack covering the scene. It then removes the burlap sack to unveil a junction box with a wire. The tool bag is opened and a pair of trimmers is removed from the bag, re-positioned in the hands, and finally used to cut the detected wire. The video is sped up by 2x.
