Systems and methods for identifying objects in a space

Abstract

A method for identifying objects by a mobile robot moving in a space by obtaining a map of the space, the map including objects and objects' locations in the space, moving the robot inside the space, localizing the moving robot in the space, capturing an image in the space using an image sensor of the mobile robot, identifying an object from the captured image, computing a relative direction of the object from the camera's direction at the time of capturing the image, and determining that the object that appears in the image is the same object that appears on the map based on the relative direction, the robot's location when capturing the image, and the object's location on the map.
