In the proposed approach, a convolutional neural network (CNN) based object detection method is used to detect the environmental objects that assist a spatiotemporal-modulated-pattern (SMP) based imperceptible projection mapping for pointing the desired objects. The distantly located HFR vision systems that operate at hundreds of frames per second (fps) can recognize and localize the pointed objects in real-time. The prototype of an artificial intelligence-enabled camera-projector (AiCP) system is used as a transmitter that detects the multiple objects in real-time at 30 fps and simultaneously projects the detection results by means of the encoded-480-Hz-SMP masks on to the objects. The multiple 480-fps HFR vision systems as receivers can recognize the pointed objects by decoding pixel-brightness variations in HFR sequences without any camera calibration or complex recognition methods. Several experiments were conducted to demonstrate our proposed method’s usefulness using miniature and real-world objects under various conditions.","PeriodicalId":37462,"journal":{"name":"ROBOMECH Journal","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43281525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was for robots to learn grasping methods for new objects by observing the grasping activities of humans in daily life without special instructions. For this setting, only one grasping motion was observed for an object at a time, and it was never known whether other grasping methods were possible for the object, although supervised learning generally requires all possible answers for each training input. The proposed method gives a solution for that learning situations by employing a convolutional neural network with automatic clustering of the observed grasping method. In the proposed method, the grasping methods are clustered during the process of learning of the grasping position. The method first recalls grasping positions and the network estimates the multi-channel heatmap such that each channel heatmap indicates one grasping position, then checks the graspability for each estimated position. Finally, the method recalls the hand shapes based on the estimated grasping position and the object’s shape. This paper describes the results of recalling multiple grasping methods and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":37462,"journal":{"name":"ROBOMECH Journal","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2020-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43101378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
