Role of Perception in Robot Manipulation
7
Where am I relative to the world?
sensors: vision, stereo, range sensors, acoustics
problems: scene modeling/classification/recognition
integration: localization/mapping algorithms (e.g. SLAM)
What is around me?
sensors: vision, stereo, range sensors, acoustics, sounds, smell
problems: object recognition, qualitative modeling
integration: collision avoidance/navigation, learning
Role of Perception in Robot Manipulation

How can I safely interact with environment ?
sensors: vision, range, haptics (force+tactile)
problems: structure/range estimation, modeling, tracking,materials, size, weight, inference
integration: navigation, manipulation, control, learning
How can I solve “new” problems (generalization)?
sensors: vision, range, haptics.
problems: categorization by function/shape/context
integrations: inference, navigation, manipulation, control, learning
