New Package: handle_detector

From Andreas ten Pas via ros-users@

Hi all,

although it has been available in the packages for quite a while, I wanted to officially announce our ROS Hydro package for localizing handles in 3D point clouds: http://wiki.ros.org/handle_detector

You can see a demonstration of the localization on Rethink Robotics' Baxter robot that is clearing several objects from a table in this video:

A tutorial for using our software is available at the ROS wiki page given above.

If you find any problems, feel free to report them at: https://github.com/atenpas/handle_detector/issues

All the best,

Andreas
