Real-time perception-guided motion planning for a personal robot

This paper presents significant steps towards the online integration of 3D perception and manipulation for personal robotics applications. We propose a modular and distributed architecture, which seamlessly integrates the creation of 3D maps for collision detection and semantic annotations, with a real-time motion replanning framework. To validate our system, we present results obtained during a comprehensive mobile manipulation scenario, which includes the fusion of the above components with a higher level executive.
