Original Abstract Submitted
A robotic system for use in installing final trim and assembly part includes an auto-labeling system that combines images of a primary component, such as a vehicle, with those of computer based model, where feature based object tracking methods are used to compare the two. In some forms a camera can be mounted to a moveable robot, while in other the camera can be fixed in position relative to the robot. An artificial marker can be used in some forms. Robot movement tracking can also be used. A runtime operation can utilize a deep learning network to augment feature-based object tracking to aid in initializing a pose of the vehicle as well as an aid in restoring tracking if lost.
