Hybrid approach to perform dynamic projection mapping onto robotic figures in real-time

Abstract

Systems, methods and apparatuses for a hybrid approach to perform dynamic projection mapping onto robots in real-time are discussed herein. For example, a robotic system includes a projection surface coupled to a robotic structure and configured to be moved by the robotic structure. The robotic system includes a tracking mechanism comprising at least one of a first tracking mechanism positioned internal to the robotic structure and configured to generate intrinsic tracking data or a second tracking mechanism positioned external to the robotic structure and configured to generate extrinsic tracking data. The robotic system includes a controller in communication with the tracking mechanism. The robotic system includes a projector having a field of view aligned with the projection surface and configured to project content onto the projection surface, wherein the controller modifies the projected content based on data generated by the tracking mechanism.
