Spatial resolution for robot to detect objects

In this paper, we report on our development of a robotic system that assists people in accomplishing simple tasks in daily life (e. g. , retrieving objects for handicapped and elderly people). These tasks, inevitably involve detecting various kinds of objects. In particular, here, we present an interactive method to detect objects using spatial information. Our experimental results confirm the usefulness and efficiency of our system. We also show how the approach can be improved and highlight necessary directions for future research.
