Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method, system, and one or more computer-readable storage media for controlling a robot in the presence of a moving object are provided herein. The method includes capturing a number of frames from a three-dimensional camera system and analyzing a frame to identify a connected object. The frame is compared to a previous frame to identify a moving connected object (MCO). If an unexpected MCO is in the frame a determination is made if the unexpected MCO is in an actionable region. If so, the robot is instructed to take an action.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method for controlling a robot in the presence of a moving object, comprising: capturing a plurality of frames from a three-dimensional camera system; analyzing a frame to identify a connected object; comparing the frame to a previous frame to identify a moving connected object (MCO); determining if an unexpected MCO is in the frame; and, if so, instructing the robot to take an action. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein…
