Summary

This paper argues the case for extracting as complete a set of sensory data as practicable from scenes consisting of complex assemblages of objects with the goal of completing the task of scene analysis, including placement, pose, identity and relationship amongst the components in a robust manner which supports goal directed robotic action, including collision-free trajectory planning, grip site location and manipulation of selected object classes.

The emphasis of the paper is that of sensor fusion of range and surface colour data including preliminary results in proximity, surface normal directionality and colour based scene segmentation through semantic-free clustering processes. The larger context is that of imbedding the results of such analysis in a graphics world containing an articulated robotic manipulator and of carrying out experiments in that world prior to replication of safe manipulation sequences in the real world.
