RoboSherlock: Unstructured information processing for robot perception
Abstract
We present RoboSherlock, an open source software framework for implementing perception systems for robots performing human-scale everyday manipulation tasks. In RoboSherlock, perception and interpretation of realistic scenes is formulated as an unstructured information management (UIM) problem. The application of the UIM principle supports the implementation of perception systems that can answer task-relevant queries about objects in a scene, boost object recognition performance by combining the strengths of multiple perception algorithms, support knowledge-enabled reasoning about objects and enable automatic and knowledge-driven generation of processing pipelines. We demonstrate the potential of the proposed framework by three feasibility studies of systems for real-world scene perception that have been built on top of RoboSherlock.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
