Object recognition for robots

[tamim_saif]

Robots' maps of their environments can make existing object-recognition algorithms more accurate


A team of researchers specializes in SLAM, or simultaneous localization and mapping, the technique hereby mobile autonomous robots map their environments and determine their locations. Now these researchers have demonstrated how SLAM can be used to improve object-recognition systems, which will be a vital component of future robots that have to manipulate the objects around them in arbitrary ways.
