Representing generic objects for exploration and recognition

摘要

The author introduces the concept of generic objects and presents a paradigm for representing and reasoning about them. These ideas have been implemented within the framework of a robotic perceptual system utilizing vision and touch. The author discusses this system briefly and present the results of running experiments on several different objects. The results show that the system is capable of identifying generic objects and of reasoning about them to generate further exploration strategies for the purpose of hypothesis disambiguation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
