Abstract The task of robotic grasping brings together several challenges. Among them, we focus on the calculus of where gripper plates should be placed over an object’s surface in order to grasp it. To do this, we have developed a method based on visual information. The main goal is to geometrically analyse a single 3D point cloud, where the object is present, to find the best pair of contact points so a gripper can perform a stable grasp of the object. Our proposal is to find these points near a perpendicular cutting plane to the object’s main axis through its centroid. We have found that this method shows promising experimental results fast and accurate enough to be used on real service robots.
