Chimney or squirrel? Clearing up a robot's fuzzy memory by comparing images from different angles
In an emergency, a human might someday ask a robotic assistant to fetch a wall-mounted defibrillator located down the hall. But if the robot has incorrectly labeled the defibrillator as a fire extinguisher in its stored memory, ...
Science and Heitech: Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a system that allows robots to identify and correct errors in the descriptions of the objects themselves.
A MIT system seeks for robots to stop blindly relying on their memories: it compares different views of an object, measures uncertainty and updates descriptions when it detects possible errors. In tests, the tool raised descriptive accuracy against reference methods by 5% and resolved ambiguities in about 92% of objects with only two additional texts per object.
