Simultaneous Multi-View Object Recognition and Grasping in Open-Ended Domains

Understand

To aid humans in everyday tasks, robots need to know which objects exist in the scene, where they are, and how to grasp and manipulate them in different situations.

• Therefore, object recognition and grasping are two key functionalities for autonomous robots.
• Most state-of-the-art approaches treat object recognition and grasping as two separate problems, even though both use visual input.
• Furthermore, the knowledge of the robot is fixed after the training phase.
