Semantic Robot Programming for Goal-Directed Manipulation in Cluttered Scenes

, 2018
We present the Semantic Robot Programming (SRP) paradigm as a convergence of robot programming by demonstration and semantic mapping. In SRP, a user can directly program a robot manipulator by demonstrating a snapshot of their intended goal scene in ...
