Object Estimation

Object estimation focuses on accurately determining the properties and pose of objects, a crucial task for robotics and computer vision. Current research emphasizes improving the speed and robustness of estimation, particularly for novel or unknown objects, using techniques like cross-modal perception (combining visual and tactile data), efficient template matching, and online parameter estimation during human-robot interaction. These advancements are driving progress in areas such as autonomous robot manipulation, human-robot collaboration, and open-world object detection, enabling more sophisticated and adaptable systems.
