+ | |||
+ | In this thesis, the goal is to make a robotic system learn new objects automatically. | ||
+ | The system should be able to generate the necessary models required | ||
+ | |||
+ | The focus of the thesis would be two-fold: | ||
+ | * Develop methods to automatically infer the object class of new objects. This would include perceiving it with state of the art sensors, constructing a 3d model of it and then infer the object class from online information sources. | ||
+ | * In the second step the system should also infer factual knowledge about the object from the internet and assert it into a robotic knowledgebase. Such knowledge could for example include the category of this product, typical object properties like its weight or typical location and much more. | ||
