HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTIVE WORKSPACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957529 titled 'HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTIVE WORKSPACE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a technique for calibrating object identification in a human-robot interactive environment using back illumination images and scene capture.
- Display back illumination image with distinct sections
- Capture scene with object obstructing a section
- Identify object location relative to robotic device
- Output location information
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and retail for tasks like object recognition, navigation, and interaction with robots.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately identifying and locating objects in a dynamic environment, enabling efficient human-robot collaboration and automation.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in object identification, enhanced human-robot interaction, increased efficiency in task completion, and potential cost savings in various industries.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Object Identification in Human-Robot Interaction Environments" could be used in industries such as logistics, warehouse management, healthcare robotics, and autonomous vehicles for improved object recognition and navigation.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of computer vision techniques for object recognition and localization in robotic systems. Another could be the use of calibration methods for aligning cameras and displays in interactive environments.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle occlusions in the scene capture process?
The technique uses the orientation of the display screen relative to the camera to identify the location of the object. However, it is not clear how it handles occlusions caused by other objects in the scene.
What types of robotic devices are compatible with this technique?
The abstract mentions identifying the location of an object relative to a robotic device. It would be helpful to know the specific types of robotic devices that can effectively utilize this calibration and object identification method.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of techniques, systems, and use cases include provide instructions for calibrating or object identification in a human-robot interactive environment. A technique may include displaying a back illumination image having at least two distinct sections, capturing a scene including the first back illumination image and an object obstructing a portion of one of the at least two distinct sections of the first back illumination image, and identifying, using an orientation of the display screen relative to the camera (e.g., obtained via calibration), location information of the object relative to a robotic device based on the first scene. The technique may include outputting the location information.
